Don't you just HATE it when it all works? :) My girlfriend keeps getting mad cuz I keep "breaking" my computer (the one providing the Maqueradfing firewall for the network ;) )... she doesn't quite get it...I run debian...I HAVE to break it myself otherwise I wont have anything to fix :) > No tweaking of any config files, no reboot, no complex fiddling with > dpkg, no dependency problems, nothing needed to be done by hand! well you can still tweak config files.... setup your system as a primary nameserver....convince it it is a root server...(I had trouble with that....all the setup was fine but missed one subtle step ;) ) If you want broken stuff... point apt at unstable and do an apt dist-upgrade ...it will break majorly...and enjoy (yes thats a warning... slink is in a broken state...but its young yet :)...guess some developers are still partying from Hamm releace...) I did this yesterday and ended up restoring my system from backup when it finished....network interfaces stop working...X stopps working... have a ball :) or...do what I did... get a SUN Workstation or two and work on porting some apps :) I ma just getting started with this...it shoul dbe an adventure :) > So, great work, congratulations!! well...none of my (as of yet still limited) work is actually in hamm... (2 in slink tho ;) ) but its nice to have something to be proud of :) and I must say I am proud to be working on the Debian GNU/Linux "team" (man I have been reading too many slogans in fast food restraunts) It really is a great system. I would like to also extend my congradulations to all the people who worked on hamm...and I hope slink can turn out even better :) (and hope that my meager work on it can live up to the quality of the rest of the system) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
