At least you recognize that debian is linux and it is not unix, because Gnu is not unix either. Again, I still know very little, but looking at the huge bug list for every system, edition, phase, etc. all I see is a list of problems. Not a list of how to make it funkier and hipier. If I recall X-windows predated linux by far, it is not a debian invention. Openbox is something new. So this thing evolves as new problems are discovered and get solved. Sometimes the only way to overcome many problems together is to scrap the previous design and start a new one. And that will be the next version of sid or debian 11. And there will be a day when all the problems in stretch will no longer be feasible patched and solved and it will become old-stable. It is like old red biplanes with a Rolls Royce multicylinder radial. They will not do Mach-iii Now if you are running a server on your trusty reliable wheezy and some fascist hacker wants to shut you up, locates a weakness in your system and gets in and turns your machine into lasagna ... wouldn't be better to have something funkier that the hacker can't affect? Rχ/ PS I nearly forgot, my tired eyes can't read shell output for too long, I like my customizable funky guis with variable colors and fonts and graphical representation instead of hexadecimal chains. > SH.A > -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG
