Strange, I chose Debian because it's Free, stable, feature-rich and fairly easy to use. The stable distribution is perfect for people who want a general-purpose operating system and have real work to get done, rather than just playing with a technological toy.
Can't say I'm iching to upgrade to KDE3. KDE2 has more bells and whistles than I really need already. Am I missing some compelling must-have feature that will make me wonder how I ever lived without it? Oh, and I always thought Slakware was l337 ;-o) perhaps I'm giving away my age. - Dan On Friday 27 Sep 2002 6:36 pm, Albert Heijn wrote: > I don't think the reason why one would choose Debian was ever to have > always the latest packages without any hassle .... > > You choose Debian because it is 1337 :)) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bastiaan Naber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 7:33 PM > To: debian-kde@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: 178 days and counting > > On Friday 27 September 2002 18:25, Brad Felmey wrote: > > On Fri, 2002-09-27 at 11:14, David Pashley wrote: > > > Well you could join #debian-kde on irc.freenode.org, check out KDE > > from > > > > CVS and fix problems.
