2008-03-05 Thread Michael Casadevall

I understand the points. That's why I have suggested creating a custom Debian Distribution which focused on lighter-weight release for embedded and older platforms. One thing I always liked about Ubuntu and its releases that you could install and switch to one of the other releases by doing apt
