yes, but i think it's clear at this point that debian's "stable" would almost be better named "stale". sure, you and i are happy to run unstable and deal with the occasional borken package, but most institutions refuse to use debian b/c stable is too old, and unastable is too iffy. maybe it's partly in the naming, but they really are scared by unstable. --Rob -- /-------------------------------------------------------------\ | "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" | | --Jimmy Buffett, | | "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" | \-------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
