Since I am going to install Debian 2.1 on a new hard drive once it is released, I thought I'd ask a few pertinent questions here (I haven't installed Debian since Feb98).
- Has the install process changed? improved? - Is apt or dselect used? which is recommended? - Which C compiler (GCC/EGCS) is default? C++? - Can I choose at install time? - Which WM is installed as default? - Is GNOME and Enlightenment ready to go out of the box? What versions? Basically, I intend to do GTK+/GNOME development. I need a machine ready to work in that environment. I have one now but it's pieced together from tarball releases. I'd like to stick with apt/packages if Debian can keep up relatively well. In practice, I typically find that if I try to use dselect to maintain my system, things quickly degrade. Has that changed? When is slink slated for release? Should I buy a new drive this month, or just wait till next month? -- SEGV http://www.cgocable.net/~mlepage/
