I'm a committed partisan of Libranet. Debian (potato) installs were always broken somewhere for me, often in lots of packages. Libranet worked flawlessly first install. Its configuration package (adminmenu/xadminmenu) is truly a godsend to less-than-expert Debian newbies. The two partners who run the distro are hands-on helpers, and the mailing list is a good-natured, humorous, virtually flame-free source of help on any problem. There's also a web forum, and an active IRC channel. > > How easy is it to install packackes from debian's stable on it? How many > incompatibilities are there? It's completely Debian-compliant. You set your sources.list for woody/sarge or sid as you choose. I use sarge both in Libranet and in pure Debian (Libranet paved the way for me into straight Debian).I use both synaptic and stormpkg to browse packages. It's simply Debian plus. The *latest* release is a commercial product, but previous releases are free downloads. Is it worth $50? To me, at present, yes. But then, it *is* Debian - essentially install once, update/upgrade for ever :-). > > -- > Tzafrir Cohen > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir > -- David Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent using Evolution in Libranet Linux. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
