Is Storm based on potato or slink ?
I installed stormix which is based on 2.2.13 kernel. I assumed this storm release was based on potato due to the kernel version. When I tried to install logrotate (which is part of the potato release) I get the following message: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: logrotate: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1) but 2.0.7.19981211-storm.1 is installed Depends: libpopt0 but it is not installable Depends: cron (= 3.0pl1-53) but 3.0pl1-50.2 is installed Depends: base-passwd (= 2.0.3.4) but 2.0.3.3 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. When I do apt-get dist-upgrade, it shows I am up to date. Does anyone have experience with Storm? Is it potato or slink? Their website claims the latest release of storm is based on Debian 2.1r5. I thought this was slink, but am not sure how/why they use the latest kernel. Maybe they just swapped out hte kernel ... paul -- Paul McHale Work: 937-253-7610 Double E Solutions Mobile: 937-371-2828 4912 Effingham Fax:413-215-3232 Dayton, Ohio 45431 --

When I do apt-get dist-upgrade, it shows I am up to date. Does anyone have experience with Storm? Is it potato or slink? I really like Storm Linux. To me, they've got things pretty near right. They stick to Debian standards, unlike Corel, and have a nice, easy install (both text/graphics) and is a really well done product. Storm presently is slink-plus. It's a slink-based installation with some updated packages. You can, however, upgrade Storm to potato quite seamlessly. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org - More software than .| *any* distribution, rock solid reliability, quality control, Randy| seamless upgrades via ftp or CD-ROM, strict filesystem layout, | adherence to standards, and militantly 100% FREE GNU/Linux!
