Hey guys,
I've just laid my hands on a rather large number of Deskpro 2000's and
a few 4000's. Unfortunately the Compaq F10 setup utility which resides
on the hard drive has been erased on all the ones I've checked so far,

However what Debian calls "stable" is a lot more stable and bug free
than what other distributions may call stable. There are certain
criteria for something being moved into testing and stable, certain
types of bugs must not exist. First all the dependencies of a package
must fit the criteria befor

Read my previous messages. Comparing version numbers across
distributions
Right. But that's no easier than, for example, Debian:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
(or dist-upgrade)
...or any other distribution with an online updates mechanism.

Right. But that's no easier than, for example, Debian:
$ apt-get up
the more i see these discussions about distros and window managers and
mta's and and email clients and almost anything else, the more i know
that the real point is that we have choice, and thats a good thing!

It's a pointless challenge. The version numbers of a package are fairly
meaningless when comparing across distributions. Why? Because
Gentoo updating / recompiling may take time on the computer but with decent
hardware it does not take users time.
I can even upgrade KDE while still using it.
So to have a very up-to-date system all I have to do is
emerge rsync && emerge -up world
then
emerge -uU world
That wasn't too hard

Is performance why they do it? I thought it was more for the
flexibility: You only compile in features of packages that you need

Eh, well, actually most of the performance is getting _worse_ with all
of the compiler option

If you're happy with debian then stay with it, and there must be a way
around the problem.
Keep the list informed as to how it goes.
