Well, I suppose...but I've found it quite easy to adapt. I suppose you could say it is more "Mac-ish," in that you have admin accounts that can do priv'ed operations, but really, it is the way sudo was designed. And you can always do "sudo bash" :) Trust me, I do that quite often. > Ubuntu won't boot on a relatively modern (1.5 years old) machine. Well, in the classic "works for me, YMMV" tradition, I have to say I've been thrilled with Kubuntu. It's installed on a few-month-old Acer AMD Sempron system on my desktop, and has been rock solid. I think I've only had to kill X once, and never have I had a hard freeze. Running with an nVidia 6600 video card, and a Via chipset motherboard. I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble. What kind of errors does it throw? Or does it even get far enough to throw the errors? > Debian is > great on stability and security updates, but has really old software.

Agreed...It'll be great when they start doing security updates for testing. j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111 Using Tomcat but need to do more?
