Subject:        RE: [brlug-general] what distro does everyone use for 
development?

I might give that a try.  If it has apt-get, it doesn't matter which
build I start with, just do an apt-get dist-upgrade and I'll be rightr
back on the bleeding edge, where its fun. Yep! 

The problem I am having with Xinerama is that X just ignores that
option.  I have written the config file by hand (and have done so many
times).  I am thinking of maybe upgrading to Xfree 4.3.  

        Mepis comes with Xfree 4.3

Does mepis have its own sources for apt-get, or does it use debians?

        I think that it uses the Debian sources but am not 100% sure as I am at 
work and can't access my sources.list. 

        One other thing I forget to mention, hard disk installation is a SNAP, 
boot up the CD, log in as root on the desktop, click on the installation wizard 
and about 4 clicks and 15 minutes later you are done. Read all about it here:
