That seems to be the consensus, but once again, where does it get the
Debian
version? I can't for the life of me figure out how I've been upgrading
(and
downgrading -- don't try that at home kids -- for years using the
apt.conf
version paramemter and yet nobody seems to know of an alternate way to
set the
Debian version. Oh well, at least it works for me! :D
You set the distribution by pointing on a repository in
/etc/apt/sources.list
Either [stable, testing, unstable]
the pb is that debian just slided the whole thing a few days ago...
Yes debian works fine! I found debian testing much stable and flexible
than any other distribution before.
Each package feet perfectly in the delicate puzzle. Dependencies are
tightly handed. And the repositories are enormous.
....however the recent switch could have been smoother (some more
official info would have been great).
I don't have time by now but this recent switch let me wonder about some
stuff.
