What's true about that?
I use Debian, too. I like it very much. I think Red Hat has more publicity since they can spend the money. They are a commercial company that can do that. Debian are a bunch of volunteers that don't have a lot of money. As for the rpm-packages - Debian can read those with the alian package. Furthermore, Debian has twice more packages then RedHat (at least that what the Debian peoples say...) Liran Zvibel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
