What's the story with xfree86 and woody? I don't see any debs for xfree86 in that tree. There are various .deb's in pool, but the most recent ones don't seem to be associated with any dist, including unstable. I've tried searching the list archives on this, but the search page keeps stalling on me.
I'm trying to convert to Debian from Red Hat. I'm contemplating installing Debian on a pool of workstations in a computer lab at the university where I work. The issue that's concerning me is that I need to get an up-to-date desktop running. I'd prefer to use Debian because I like it's package management system better. But if I have to kludge a desktop, that kind of obviates the advantage. The machines will all be new, so I expect xfree86-4.x will support the hardware better. Ivan's excellent KDE work appears to be geared to run on 3.x, the stable potato version of xfree86. I haven't checked out the Gnome situation yet. So let's see, what's my question? ;) Any advice? -Ron- GPG and other info at: http://www.yellowbank.com/
