Hi, I am also a Debian fan, thanks to Siddarthada. Its he who gave me my first deb3.0 release, to install. After that I have never liked any other distro more than deb. Its AWESOME, even though I have not yet been able to run my winmodem on it, so I cant use the apt-get to its full potential. Yet I truly adbire apt over any other comparable tool. greetings, Sayan Chakraborti [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siddhartha Basu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 10:57 AM Subject: Re: [ilug-cal] thanks to siddarthada
