I thought we were talking of RH, not FC. RH in my mind is RHEL. If by pinning you mean locking a machine, it certainly is possible. I don't understand what "going to unstable" means - if it means you want to deliberately make your machine unstable, I'm glad that this feature is not present in RH. :) > Moreover, I like Debian because of the huge repository full of > alternatives for each type of software.

I haven't done ./configure; make; make install in quite some time. It has always been up2date foo bar baz. If the only positive of Debian you can show is the "alternatives" - about 45 different half-baked text editors or 25+ mail clients - then I have nothing more to say. :) Binand ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
