> Testing is just too buggy for my taste. And Lenny is far too old. I've never run Debian Testing. But I did come across what I think is a great lil' distro called 'Sidux', "Debian Hot and Spicy". It's based on Debian Sid (unstable). Which if you know anything about Debian, just means it works but they haven't tested the hell out of it.
I've been running it for about a year now. I think they're on a 6 month release cycle. You can test it out w. a LiveCD. I do run into problems now and then, but I've learned a lot working through them. The Sidux community is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Here's a thread on getting a Logitech bluetooth mouse working on a Dell 820 laptop: http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-8393.html The main reasons I don't run Ubuntu: I find it sluggish compared to Debian. The video driver seems to lose its marbles when I close the lid on my Thinkpad T60. I can't get get access to and run all Debian software. I support Debian's quirky fight to be Free and Open. Even if Iceweasal and Icedove are super cheesey names... If Sidux ever charged money for their distro, I would be a loyal customer to the bitter end. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
