redhat is so much like what you might expect from something wearing a red hat. one time stable installation. wait a long time. then reinstall. well chosen aliases so that if you change distributions, you will at least miss them. carefree night on the town in a red hat, or to the rescue. maybe an old lady with a good recipe who is also wearing a purple dress? i think redhat is sort of like america and what is good about it. you might not prefer this however. debian is a bunch of guys contributing. oh, i am sure there are some girl contributors also, but many more guys. ian started it for his girlfriend debbie. one of debians big issues is that debbie has lots of boyfriends now. they talked me into running sid, so i could get netscape3 back (it is the same as making me dress risque so that i can go ballroom dancing) then they broke something so it doesnt work. I call it all dressed up and no where to go. very very much like having one or a million boyfriends. i see no difference. i have no idea what the gentoo people are doing. same with knoppix. the thing i wish i had done was to build my own from scratch. the linux people have been racing with windows for so long now, i should have done this in 1999. it seems like a huge project now. mandrake and gimp have always had a weird relationship; i really think it is the names. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mandrake&r=67 the root is poisonous. i am sure that little bits of it might be beneficial. gimp, well. not named after a poison; at least not to itself. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
