Sorry to all those who are inconvenienced by this but I have tried
multiple times to get removed from the mailing list.
I even sent in the confirm "CONFIRM u03180819391769"
PLEASE REMOVE ME MANUALLY, as your automated system doesn't work.

Apt-get is a great tool, however it insists on installing everything in /usr.
Which means that it is
difficult to make use of extra hard drives.

Hi Michael!
I'm not sure whether there is much on the net regarding Debian vs. Suse or
RedHat or Mandrake(the list goes on...)...
If I was you, I would concentrate on ease of upgrade (as mentioned before by
someone, apt-get), Debian policy (things are where they should be, Debian

Hello everybody,
I work in a place where there is a network of about 60 pcs mostly
running Slackware Linux. A
If you have a net with similar PCs it should be easy install Debian (or
another Linux distribution).
I know it is possible to install and configure the system on a PC and copy
all it on other PCs. For kernels you can do the same thing (if you have
similar PCs). About potato, if your net is connec
ution? I am quite
satisfied with the 1500 or so packages in Hamm main, but the
establishment guys here say that they want a distro with as many
packages as possible.
5) Are there any Debian advocacy pages on the web, which I can use to
convince people here?
