bind vs. bind9

I just replaced bind with bind9: "apt-get install bind9" and it told me that bind was removed and bind9 was installed. But bind is still listed in my package list. "dpkg -l" now reports: rc bind 8.3.3-2.0woody Internet Domain Name Server ii bind9 9.2.1-2.woody. Internet Domain

Re: Debain on the rise ! - However ....

I received one lightning-fast private response to my post. Unfortunately, it isn't of much help, and I don't think it's an example of Debian support at its best! I've removed the name of the sender, but I thought that the response was interesting enough to warrant posting to the list. At 01:

Alternative to VMware?

I really want to get a copy of VMware, but I don't have $140 for the student version. So I'm looking for alternatives. I just want some kind of sandbox where I can test out new software, distros, etc, without rebooting into a seperate partition. What do other people use? -- Joel Konkle-Parker

You may want to consider starting over, and staying within a single release (stable or testing). Mixing releases can make a mess of your system quickly unless you really know what you're doing. Now you tell me! ;-) Ok, I'll start over. Keeping the faith :-) Thanks a lot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, ema
