Following advice from Hendrik, I installed SQUEEZE on the home computer. On my home computer I dumped Ubuntu and installed squeeze. On that same box I have xp, fedora14, w7 and Debian Squeeze. Perhaps because I was teethed on Fedora, that I have it as preferences, but I am really looking for ext4 support for linux. Both UBUNTU and Fedora offer that.
I am starting to do coding in C and just need the most current TCP/IP socket software. If the Debian and Fedora versions are at the same level, great. Why did I dump UBUNTU. Because of grub2. With debian, and Fedora, I can easily use grub to select any one of the 4 operating systems at boot time. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein mailto:[email protected] mailto [email protected] / [email protected] www.itbms.biz --- On Wed, 12/1/10, Jeremy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Jeremy <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MLUG] A Fedora14/CentOS5 guy wants to install Debian Lenny To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 10:18 AM On 10-11-30 09:33 PM, Hendrik Boom wrote: > Debian is currently in a code freeze for the next stable version of the > system, version 6.0, called squeeze, alias testing.

Even after testing becomes stable you will still be in testing unless you change your repositories. It sounds complex, but it is actually a great way to do releases IMO. Debian FAQ has an entry about which they suggest you choose: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-choosing.en.html#s3.1 Also, you can step up to "testing" with little problem, but you can't (easily or sanely) step down from testing to stable.
