Just for your statistics: I finally come back to beloved and wonderful Debian after having fought for a few weeks with a Gentoo-Desktop system. My conclusion was - or is - that even if Gentoo has newer packages sometimes and is using more modern techniques in some areas (the new dependancy-based runlevel/init-system for example); the stability and wellformedness of Debian (It just never breaks ;) ) is more important than the bleeding-edge version of some packages.
That were my 2 cents ;) Regards, Mikael -- Mikael Olenfalk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Netgineers
