That's not even an exhaustive list. According to DistroWatch.com, there are, at the time of this writing, 253 distributions based on Debian -- far more than any other distribution! Some of these distributions are now defunct of course, but still that's a *huge* number! http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=All&origin=All&basedon=Debian&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=All We can't possibly support them all here. I agree with Jordan. I'm not trying to be unkind, but each distribution is responsible for its own support. If Camaleón wants to help him, we can't stop him; but I try to direct users of other distributions to their own organization's help forums. There are too many subtle differences between all the distributions. Advice that I may give based on my experience with Debian may not work, or even cause problems, on other distributions; and since I don't use any other distribution, I would have no way of knowing that. That's my two cents worth. -- .''`. Stephen Powell <zlinux...@wowway.com> : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
