I cut my teeth on Slackware. It was a wonderful learning experience, but would have been awfully difficult if I hadn't had a very good mentor -- thanks, jjohn! Then I moved to SuSE for a few years. It actually had a manual, and having a rpm was pretty cool coming from slack. Then I heard about the Debian philosophy and I liked the concept so I tried it. Now I support Debian on principle, but I would choose it for the package system anyway. Debian handles updates/upgrades better than any system I've seen. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html All things in moderation.
