Seems to me they should have been a lot more reluctant to freeze on a point zero release rather than reluctant at this point. I would be willing to bet that there are a lot of serious problems that would appear with any first release. I know Debian tends to backport patches, but it would seem like this would be a bit of a pain to start from this point. That's the trick with Debian though I guess: how stable is too stable, etc. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIl/qPmb+gadEcsb4RAullAJ9VmdJULqJQxsWRbnq5rSBCfk/JoACdH4Z7 cX92Q9Zjun5rdGmF3XYIVkM= =R72P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
