And about the stupid sig file by MBM, I'd rather say that it's better to look at Debian closely. If you are aware of it, you know it better that Debian SID is the most upgraded and bleeding edge release. Debian Stable (Woody) is quite old but people are happy with it. You yourself maintain servers and hopefully know that people don't like dist-upgrades on servers frequently. A simple/similar example is RedHat. RedHat too has followed the path of Debian for it's RHEL range of products which have a release cycle of 18-24 months. I hope your sig in near future would also include RHEL along with Debian. :-) rrs > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suresh Ramasubramanian) > <mobbsy> Debian does away with the upgrade problem by never putting out a new > release -- Sigfile seen on a post by Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm @ colodot.net> > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials > Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of > GenToo technologies.
