Debian/Ubuntu people usually argue the power of apt and the freedom as advantages to choose their distro. Well, it's true apt is powerful but apt may also be used in SUSE (apt-rpm) and SUSE also offers the user more choices (YaST, Smart,...) while Debian-based distros AFAIK only offer apt. So I don't see why someone would choose Debian just because of apt. Many also argue Debian has a big central repository with lots of packages (I'm pretty sure they aren't using even 10% of the packages) but probably they haven't taken a look at repos.opensuse.org. Ubuntu also depends on a company (Canonical), so that's not different from SUSE. About the freedom of Debian, well, I don't have to comment it, I think everyone understands what "OSS" means in "SUSE 10.1 OSS". At the same time, we have YaST while Debian/Ubuntu doesn't. And that's really a strong advantage. So long live SUSE! ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
