Funny, I thought one of the big advantages of Debian over most other distros is that you *don't* need to reinstall when a new version comes out. What's the deal with etch, then? Debian's not jumping on the 'reinstall for every upgrade' bandwagon, is it? (And I ask this from a system which has been through slink, potato, woody, and is currently on sarge, all without needing a reinstall.) -- Windows Vista must be the first OS in history to have error codes for things like "display quality too high" - Peter Gutmann, "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection" http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
