No, I am not "another Caldera refugee." I still participate in the
Caldera list, and have installed WS 3.1 on my recently upgraded "lab
rat." I am in no hurry to adopt WS 3.1 - or any other bleeding edge
distribution for that matter, since eDesk 2.4 still does everything I
need reliably.
Yes, I do use Libranet 1.9.1 w/o Reiser FS. Libranet and eDesk are on
the same system I am sending this from. It seems to perform a bit more
sprightly on a K6-2 350 mHz than eDesk 2.4. Debian has some irritating
features and characteristics compared to eDesk. Debian security
policies make simple tasks like installing new apps complicated. I
tried Libranet earlier this year because I wanted to check out the new
2.4 kernel and KDE 2. I also wanted a Debian installation to replace
Corel Linux. I decided to buy Libranet vice Progeny because it is
cheaper and comes with RPM support on-board. (Try to install Applix 5.0
on a Debian!)
The admin tools are well organized. Recompiling the kernel. e.g. to
enable IDE CD-RW support is handled smoothly and simply by the kernel
utility.
For $25 you get a polished and well endowed distribution of the Debian
persuasion, with the ability to install your legacy RPM apps without any
bother.
