I wonder why he picked Debian to slander. Debian Stable is after all what ISV's would write software for and what VARS would be supporting if they chose to install Debian. Debian's release cycle is what RH & suse are switching over to. The difficulty must be something other that ever changing libraries or whatever. He could have just complained about older versions of software. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qWZUk7rtxKWZzGsRAnT4AJ9jxa1y0KOSqFUI6nhVI7f+62Z+TACgs8bW pAl+5REhbQ7P7XHojlCPUbs= =IvYF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
