Re: [TCLUG:19211] debian install

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

You did it right - Debian is taking its own sweet time coming out with
Potato.  Too bad too, because by the time it is out - everybody is going to
want to go to the 2.4 kernel and they will be behind again.  If history can
be used to judge the future - they will be behind for over 1 year - when
they will probably be behind again :)

In the end - I see the only people using Debian are the gear-heads who are
apt fans.  Make way for Corel and Storm - the debian descendants.
