There is only one true Linux distribution, and that's Debian (translation: I can usually get it installed and keep it maintained). hey man, I run debian too, but I don't make claims that its the one true distro. Its right for me, and yes, I agree that its easy to install and maintain, but I've also had apt fsck my system to the point of not booting while upgrading 'testing'. I was able to repair same though. Fedora is hardly my favorite distro, but Eric really ought to practice some discretion, like Linus when talking to the Gnome guys. Well, thats the difference. Linus said, gnome sucks rocks, here's a patch. ESR said, fedora sucks, I quit. ESR claims to be one of the senior technical cadre that makes the Internet work , and a core Linux and open-source developer. Yet ESR has no code in the linux kernel. (None!) Linus doesn't make any grandiose claims (other than things like, thats stupid, and he once said I am your God, but we all think he was kidding.) Linus, point of fact, does have (quite a bit of) code in the kernel. ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau

I think I could screw up pretty much anything out there. :) I was able to repair same though. And when that doesn't work, there are backups. I really like the Etch installer when all else fails. It gives a very fine grained control if you want it. Well, thats the difference. Linus said, gnome sucks rocks, here's a patch. ESR said, fedora sucks, I quit. I agree. I may not always agree with Linus' methodology (though I do agree with him about KDE vs. Gnome), but he is a guy I ultimately respect. He may shoot his mouth off, but the is a fair bit of substance behind the guy. When he shoots off his mouth about SCO, he can actually be quite funny. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
