As Jeff pointed out, Debian is the base for Ubuntu, Mint, and others so if you get in Debian you are in Ubuntu, Mint, etc. It is possible to get into Ubuntu, Mint, etc. separately but then you have many channels instead of just the one. Debian also allows proprietary software such as NVIDIA drivers, it is just that they are in the non-free repository instead of the free repository. Non-free is not available by default in Debian but it is there. I use it all the time for NVIDIA drivers and some other stuff. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
