Hi Indra,
your mail regarding the Debian CD's you got reminded me about some
questions I had.Firstly what makes up a different distribution? As far as
I can see the major visible difference is in the setup utilities that come
with certain distros.Does the actual system config differ by using
different distro's? What does a person mean when he says that his program
'works on RedHat,not tested on other systems' - the Linux binaries that
are distributed all come from the same sources.Of course if the
distributors compile them with different settings that would cause
differences - but is this what happens?
OK,some distributions are uniquely different - eg: Secure Linux,but even
that is based on a RH distro.What makes RedHat,Debian and Slackware so
different? (OR are they different at all!)
What's on the Debian CD's? Apart from the Linux system itself what other
goodies have they given? Also,how much would it take to burn those CD's??
Does Debian use RPM's?
So,what film did you 'amigos' finally watch?
Hope you don't mind the glut of ?'s.
Bye,
Rajarshi
