Unfortunately, if I wanted a "hamburger" in Minnesota in February, you wouldn't fire up your grill. Fortunately, with tasksel, debian isn't _that_ much of a roll- your-own distro, like Rock & Gentoo are. I'd give woody to a power user to install on his own machine _sooner_ than I'd give him an RPM-based distro because of the RPM Hell that he _will_ descend into when he tries to upgrade something complex. -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, | !
