- from an apt-get dist-upgrade in Debian testing. I find these things impressive. I have, many times, heard people who were elated to discover the beauty of apt. I think if we start collecting more statistics to share, it could help more people understand why they should try Debian. Things like, since the beginning of time: How many package upgrades have I done ? How much total file size have I downloaded for upgrades ? How much time has all this downloading taken ? How much time has all the package configuration taken ? How much time has all the package installation taken ? How many complete (dist-)upgrades have I done ? How many (and which) Debian distributions have I gone through ? I think the right place to collect this might be in apt. I have a few beginning thoughts on specifics, but this just occurred to me about 18 minutes ago. I am willing to invest time in this. I have *never* reinstalled Debian (except when I had unrelated hardware failure). I think these could result in some pretty impressive statistics. -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." - Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) http://www.ChaosReigns.com
