Re: Right way to compile Debian packages?

[Dale Anderson]

Exactly atm gentoo is a huge mess, I used to be an avid fan as a few 
list members can probably recall , if your using debian might as well 
stick with it , it does the job and nicely once you get to know it , all 
distros (yes including SuSe ) have there flaws (alot (tm) in many 
cases), Debian imho still has the most reliable PM exisiting atm , and 
you usually have to do something really bad (tm) to blow an install up.

Right.  But that's no easier than, for example, Debian:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
