I keep seeing your arguments about how some people want on;y a 100 MB system by default. But you do give an option to have a Desktop, even Laptop install. What not make those installs have better support for Desktop and Laptop Users. For example, why not have the package updater installed for those who specifically want to install the desktop environment? Those who only want servers or 100MB installs will not be hurt by this move. Then, Desktop and Laptop users are happy too.
No you don't. It was just John Goerzen that commented about this and I and Joey Hess pointed him at some progress on this area. I and others are working very hard to polish the desktop environment and laptop related stuff, actually the desktop environment installs the update-manager and update-notifier, as i wrote some messages ago.
In short, it would be nice if the Desktop and Laptop environments catered to Desktop users. I see how Debian is innovative with apt, lintian, etc.. But why not innovative with the Desktop experience?
Suggestions after your new tests are welcome (hint: a better and consistent artwork is pending).
(...) PS. Hardware, Hardware, Hardware, I have to confess, if there was better hardware support I think most people would be happy. Hardware supported by Ubuntu 6 months ago, should be supported by Debian by now.
Do you have a list for comparison? If not, i can point out a some hardware setup that works on Debian Sarge, our last release and not in Ubuntu Dapper. Is it Ubuntu's fault? In a lot of cases, no. These days even Microsoft Windows users are worried about hardware selection and operating system compatibility. regards, -- stratus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
