But I have no religion there. Ubuntu is more user friendly, but Debian has the same basic UI, all the tools. Some stuff is a bit wierd, they don't call it "firefox" they call it iceweasel for legal reasons. But all the important GUI stuff, specifically Synaptic, is there. Ubuntu adds drivers for more consumer stuff more quickly, like webcams, etc. but my servers barely have a keyboard. I've got a 8 port KVM so the one monitor, keyboard and mouse is shared. > 7.5... isn't it 8.0 that supposedly will be required to support the > SBTouch sometime this month?

I don't have any insight into what names or dates will happen. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
