 Dear maintainers,

 I wondered , which is the default version of dhclient is been installed by
 the debian installation process. I saw several different versions nd my
 last fresh installation is a long time ago (yes, Debian is running and
 running and running...). :) Well, at a fresh installation I use tasksel,
 which does not really show, what happens ( --task-desc does not work).

 Can you tell me, which is the state-of-the-art-version is used in debian
 today? dhcpd ? dhcp-client ? dhcp3-client ?

apt-get update;

 Hi Leo !
 This was a fast answer. :)
:-)

 Well, what I really wanted to know, which dhcp-version I should use at
 using 1. debian/testing
 2. debian/sid

depends of your preferences (sources.list) files. If your configuration point 
to testing it would choose the testing version of the package, also the sid 
version.


 (these are both, I use).

 Which is the default ? I think, there are different behaviours at the
 versions. At the moment I use dhcp3-client, which seem to be the newest
 one. But is it also good for newbies ??? Are the older ones orphaned in the
 meantime ?

Hans, 

I trust a lot in the maintainers and debian in general. I think that that the 
version of the package is the minor of problems if you are using a 
dhcp-client in a common scenario.
In general, the stable (etch) version is maintained, not orphaned in the 
meantime. Remember the debian way of life:
- sid --- testing --- stable

Regards,

Leo
