Isn't that primarily a political/legal distinction? Isn't and64.debian.net where the AMD64 port for Debian was conceived and executed? Isn't it primarily a purely technical matter that Debian, not that it has accepted AMD64 into the fold, is letting its automated systems rebuild the entire AMD64 distribution rather than just taking it over from amd64.debian.net? It really isn't as if and64.debian.net is as incompatible as a Debian-derived distribution like Ubuntu, is it? Or have I badly misunderstood something and is there real cause for concern? > > MfG > Goswin > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
