Upcoming Debian 3.0 thread on SlashDot

By Paul Holbrook on April 8, 2002 10:17 AM |

Slashdot has a good thread on the upcoming Debian 3.0 release. I use Debian on my home linux server.  This thread brings out what's good and bad about Debian: Debian doesn't always have the latest packages, and sometimes the installation procedures can be convoluted, but the people working on it are committed to bringing out a high quality release.

My sense is that Debian is the Linux distribution that is closest to the pure GNU/Richard Stallman philosophy - "We won't do it if it's not right (and we know what's right.)"  Quality and purity over user-friendliness.

Lately I've been using VMware on my W2k box to play with different Linux installations and with FreeBSD; I'll have to write that.
