I've burned a Live CD, and I tried it on VirtualBox, it looked fine but I chose the wrong place for GRUB, at last it didn't run well. is Synaptic different from apt-get? Which of them has more softwares? mc looks fine and I may tried out. If I dual-boot Debian on my MBP, then install rEFIt, would it be fine? And can I send and/or receive mailing list or emails, and talk on IRC channels? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
