To be precise, Debian is a Linux distribution upon which the Ubuntu Linux distribution is based, but they are largely separate and *very* different entities. As such, Ubuntu uses the Debian package management system (dpkg, apt*, etc. - as opposed to the Red Hat Package Manager rpm), but they (Debian and dpkg) are not the same thing. However, I get your meaning. I just found it a little confusing up front (and was concerned that novices to Debian and/or Ubuntu might find also find it so). -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
