If you get the paid-up version, does libranet provide updates from time to time to keep you up to date, or do you have to monitor the debian sites to find out what's going on? The primary reason I stick with gentoo is the ease of updating. A few times a week, I run 'emerge sync' (update the list of available packages) and 'emerge -pu world' (list the new stable updates that are available based on what I have installed). Is that type of operation easy on libranet/debian? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
