I am currently running the unofficial sarge port to 64bits, and while I am now happy to have a computer back (building the new one took about 6 weeks, due to a crappy online seller), I am a little bummed to find myself seemingly out in the cold. I am a desktop user, running Linux for about 6-7 years, mostly on the RH side, having moved over to Debian about 3 months ago.
First question how stable is etch? Should I just move on over right now, or should I wait a little? For those running Sarge, how can one upload openoffice? It appears to be in a vicious circle, not wanting to upload due to no dependancies being selected, add them into the upload, and it still fails? Could I run the 32 bit version, or could I force the issue somehow? How about Backports? Is there hope of getting something newer though them? What about Sarge source packages? Can I compile them on this machine and end up with 64 bit code? Thanks- Rob -- Mountlake Terrace, WA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
