Surely, Debian is "niche". Why else should there be a need for distributions like Gentoo? I once tried to run Debian, and asked for help on some probably elementary question on the Debian users list. All I got in the way of help was "read the f*ing manual". Sure, very helpful indeed. Later, I installed Gentoo and was positively amazed at the level of help you would get on the Gentoo-forum. I never looked back to Debian. -- Leif Biberg Kristensen | Registered Linux User #338009 http://solumslekt.org/ | Cruising with Gentoo/KDE ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
