"In Ubuntu, you don't do anything - the OS checks for updates and prompts the user as needed, an experience very much like OS X."
Yes, of course standard Debian has an update manager which pops up, if you want it to work that way. That's how you will get it out of the box. I don't, I want to update what and when I want, not have it just happen. Richard, where do you think Ubuntu's update manager comes from??? Mandriva has an update manager too, which I tell people also not to use, but to do updates consciously when they are sure they want to. The difference between Debian and Ubuntu is what gets updated, and the release schedule. You are better off, for purposes of stability, with a two year major release schedule and updates of the existing release between them, than you are with Dozy Dragon coming out now and six months later being followed by Loopy Leonard. This is much closer to how both Apple and MS work. My point about the Rev support is this. I don't know exactly what you could do to STOP Rev running on Mandriva or the Slackware derivatives. Its a crazy idea. It runs on them by default. Its not that Rev has a problem with some distros, what works on one works on all. Its the generic level of feature support that is the problem. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Rev-for-Linux-was-Re-iPadding-around-tp1460131p1460886.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
