Thanks for the reply! You've got some great reasons for wanting something newer than potato. However, and I should have been clearer about this earlier, the norm is that discussions of whether or not "foo is ready for the desktop" are specifically referring to the corporate (non-geek, non-developer) desktop. My experience is that not only potato but even Red Hat 4.2 works great in that setting. I'm not really concerned with how much geeks and developers like potato for the simple reason that they (we) are capable of dealing with the uncertainties of woody/sid and might even be willing to do the occasional `./configure ; make ; make install` to get things that our distro(s) of choice don't include. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
