What is it with Ubuntu or Kubuntu that makes you _not_ use Debian directly? I dropped Debian because at the time I bought my amd64 Gentoo seemed to be the only reasonable setup for a mixed 64/32-bit environment. Debian did only have a beta release for 64-bit and the mix of 32-bit and 64-bit was sub-optimal in my opinion. Now, my opinions on Gentoo are steadily falling. I get to use my fat DSL and my X2 AMD processor a bit more than I like because of all the compiling. I am very satisfied in average with Debian sid on an older x86 machine and really miss it on amd64. For some reason I never got attached to Red-Hat or Fedora and Suse was replaced with Debian between 6.4 and 7.0 because I would have to sweep my harddisk to get the new version of Suse. -- Svenn _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
