> Saying Slackware is in any real way preferable to Debian is damn stupid. Depends from points of views, of course. At work we have three machines running Linux. Since we had no idea which was better, one is running Debian, one is running Slackware, and one is running RedHat. I personally prefer the Debian machine, but the programmers say the RedHat is better, for options, {technical blabber here}, and bootable CD. At home I installed Slackware because a friend gave me a set of CDs and I haven't really paid much attention to it, but it does what I want it to do. I'm not exactly a Linux power user, in fact I think the programs that get most use from me are Pine and Pico. No use arguing which is better. All have their advantages (Debian more than all of the others), but I've seen some pretty nasty "religious" wars on Usenet =)) My only suggestion is that we should stick together, no matter the distribution, and fight the evil Microsoft =)) We don't want a Microsoft Linix(tm) now do we?? =>> Leandro+ ___ Leandro Asnaghi-Nicastro (LA672) Assistant to the Editor and Localization, GamesMania Internet Frontier, Toronto, Canada Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (416) 656-2659 ext. 425 Fax: (416) 656-0863 A neighbor came to Nasrudin, asking to borrow his donkey. "It is out on loan," the teacher replied. At that moment, the donkey brayed loudly inside the stable. "But I can hear it bray, over there." "Whom do you believe," asked Nasrudin, "me or a donkey?"
