Yup. Or, better yet, Mandrake! Then move them on to Debian after a couple of months, when they're a bit more world wise :). > But for installing individual packages, I think .deb is better than .rpm. > Well, it's due to apt-get, I believe. Yes! But also, and a lot of people who only really glance at Debian before installing Red Hat or similar, is the fact that Debian packages are generally of a very very high quality. Packages are maintained by people that care about the software they're packaging and (generally) understand the Debian system very well. And when there's something wrong with a package, bugs are filed and generally stomped on quick-smart. I recall Red Hat packages varying pretty wildly in quality when I last played around with a Red Hat system. -- Andrew Sione Taumoefolau [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midspark.net/shazbot/
