Which is also one of the reasons it takes Debian 2.5 years to issue a new release! The number of packages shipped with Linux distributions these days is simply astounding, bordering on ridiculous. I haven't touched anything but Linux for over 2 years now, and I'm quite sure I'd feel lost elsewhere with commercial system's sparsity of packages! Regardless of distribution, you get a lot more bang for your buck with Linux than you do with any commercial OS! Now, if we could just boost the QA level of all the distributions a little :) -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
