No one said they weren't feasable. The installation isn't the issue. The *maintenance* of it is. Put another way... we already have umpteen zillion poorly-administered Windows machines connected to the 'net causing havoc for an entire planet. Do we really need to add another whole venue? Put yet *another* way... it's all about skill sets. Somewhere else in this thread the argument about CAD on Linux is raging. I have not the vaguest idea how AutoCAD works... I have trouble drawing a straight line from point (A) to point (B) without the help of a computer. But I don't act like I'm knowlegeable about it, either. Our department has to keep the AutoCAD station(s) at work running, but if *AutoCAD* has a problem, we're not qualified. That's what trained support personnel are for. > I sure hope the arguments of live-cd != Debian are not motivated by > a sour-grapes attitude that Debian-pure is not as easy to install as > a Debian-based live-cd. Mine aren't. I couldn't care less about easy. Well, no, that's not strictly true... I don't see any reason to have to stand on my head while patting my stomach and whistling, but the idea is the same. Otherwise I'd be using Windows. > What interests me at this point is if and when there will be a live-cd > == Debian (stable, testing, unstable) When it's time to railroad, people start railroading. That's where Knoppix came from in the first place, not that it was the first. It's in no way an itch I have, so no need to scratch it. However, are *you* volunteering to build the railroad? ^_^ -- Marc Wilson | Misfortunes arrive on wings and leave on foot.
