Eleven architectures. One installer. You do better. Debian does things differently, because there are different project goals. Such as supporting as much hardware _and_ software as possible. No Other Project does that. No Other Project _can_ do that. Linux runs on more hardware than NetBSD. Debian suports it. > I think I'll download some Debian and Ubuntu ISO's and give them each a > try in qemu. Please do. If you could post your thoughts on each, I personally would appreciate it. I think the Ubuntu installer is slick, even if brain-dead in certain aspects. Debian's installer allows you the power to shoot yourself in the foot. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
