how does that help the situation? if debian 2.2 has konqueror than only because of luck. well actually, 2.2 does not include KDE last time i checked you have to get it from elsewhere. and that KDE for 2.2 exists is only thanks to the fact that 2.2 is the latest stable version. but watch out if you want something more esotheric than KDE 2.2 is hopelessly old, and you can not install many programs from testing/unstable/3.0 on it, because all the newer stuff will upgrade many more packages that you don't want upgrade the only difference/advantage here is that compared to redhat 6.2 probably many more people still use debian 2.2 and because of a very slow upgrade cycle the chance that you find packages for the older distribution is higher. in fact, a debian package of konqueror for 2.2 might even run on redhat 6.2 because the libs should be similar versions. greetings, martin. -- i am looking for a job anywhere in the world, doing pike programming, caudium/pike/roxen training, roxen/caudium and/or unix system administration. -- pike programmer Traveling in Korea (www|db).hb2.tuwien.ac.at unix (iaeste|bahai).or.at (www.archlab|iaeste).tuwien.ac.at systemadministrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org mud.at is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B"ahr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
