Couldn't have said it better myself. I have always liked Debian in theory, just practice never seemed to gel. Too much information that wasn't straight forward. Ubuntu combines the community of Gentoo, with the ease of use and stability of Debian.

I'm sure it'll be ported over though ;) -joel On Thursday 23 February 2006 17:14, Roger E.
