I don't think Debian is really aiming at newbies. (RedHat is) Debian is aiming at the power user or admin type -- the people that already know Unix. Debian is wonderful for people like that -- you get the raw power of Unix with the most tedious tasks conveniently automated via the package manager. I don't think that we should go around changing defaults like prompts just to be more friendly to newbies. If we want to be friendly to newbies, we can write an X configurator like RedHat; but I don't think that's what we want. Just my two cents... -- John Goerzen | Running Debian GNU/Linux (www.debian.org) Custom Programming | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
