YaST on SuSE, MCC on Mandriva, Synaptic on Debian/Ubuntu I would not be able to use Linux without them. I hated RedHat back in vi for config days. The sole reason I went to Mandrake/Mandriva was their MCC. Today, I would not recommend Mandriva, but in the Debian and Ubuntu space, Symaptic rules. YaST is fine as well in the SuSE space. On Debian/Ubuntu, if you shell in using ssh -X myserver then you can start the GUI remotely with gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic Its a huge help when you want to run headless. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
