I haven't touched Debian in a while 1> Same experience as Llama - baisc Debian failed to install on my hardware (X was too old) 2> Reading the writeups about Libranet, etc., I always came to the conclusion that the package offerings were too damn old. 3> What's the current status? Is Libranet anywhere near current with respect to kde, gnome, mozilla, etc.? 4> When I tried lycoris in the Redmond Linux days, I couldn't stand the patchwork kde screens with half the stuff missing. If I'm going to use kde, I want it to look like kde, thank you very much. It was quite an easy install even back then. 5> Not that I'm really looking. I'm quite happy with my "collinstoo" distro, as Skippy calls it. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo(since 01/01/01) 2.4.18+(ext3) xfce-sylpheed-mozilla _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
