Good point. Sometimes, though, compatibility with the original distribution ceases to be important because the original distribution has been superseded by something else. Debian has fundamental organizational problems which lead me to think that it won't be able to keep up with improvements in Ubuntu. If that is so then there is a good chance that Ubuntu will replace Debian as the standard dpkg-based distribution. -- Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
