Ditto. I've been through dozens of Linux distributions, and Debian is still my favorite. I am *not* talking about Ubuntu, mind you -- that's not really Debian any longer. Much of what I like most about Debian was screwed gently with a chainsaw by the Ubuntu team. Of course, that's only "almost tolerate", as you said. Even Debian annoys the crap out of me, now that I've gotten familiar enough with FreeBSD to realize what I was missing. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Olin Shivers: "I object to doing things that computers can do." --uZ3hkaAS1mZxFaxD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpP3g8ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWn7ACfcuhJCkcDkpkbTdQzgGztUoP8 350AoOF3OJgM9NeFpXlHQNpkpbxiSV2t =MSk2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uZ3hkaAS1mZxFaxD--
