Dear kamaraju: Actually, I noticed that I downloaded the latest version July 12, 2005. Hope that's OK.
I tried to access the packages.debian.org site but got a wrong page. Perhaps the servers are busy. What I meant to ask about the packages was: are some programs not available as yet as debian packages? Thank you. P. S. I am still downloading the Sarge stable release. It's taking a long time. I have an ADSL connection. Will decide after it's download what to do. On 12 Jul 2005 at 0:51, kamaraju kusumanchi wrote: > Benjamin Sher wrote: > > rc3 is fine to install etch.
