Nope. I haven't used Debian. I can't speak with an informed voice about the issues you mention. I know JACK SHIT about what I'm talking about.

Thank you, drive through.

New Here's a Bet, Genius
I've never installed Debian on ANYTHING - but I'm certain that if completely new hardware were plopped down in front of both of us, and some Debian media, I'd smoke you installing it. Linux is Linux, and I've been down the road of difficult installs.

Your dick is bigger than my dick. Who cares?

I'm willing to listen to reason and the experience of others. Many folks here have said that it's easier to use and administer. Folks with much more experience with Linux than either you or I have. Probably combined. Yet you still claim that "reading websites" makes you knowledgeable about everything about Debian, and you are therefore competent to make a technologically sound decision about it.

That may be true for yourself and your own personal machines. To the rest of the world, you are succeeding in only sticking your head in the sand.

This qualifies you to run Windows along with Billy-n-Bally. Run along and go play with your kind.

And how the fuck did you turn this into a pissing contest?

Debian isn't about the installation. It's about the maintenance. Go install it. Use it. Until then, STFU about something you know little about.

New It' Not A Tech Issue
I will not argue with you about tech. Why would I? You're a grown-up and know what works. I'm sure it works (because of the kernel they co-opted). This is about Pee Cee fucking BS and the "HURD" mentality.

New Not to put salt into a wound...
But weren't you the one that Bitched Like heel when all you got were Symbol Problems... after a Depmod and tried to boot the new kernel you just built flopped? You continued to say Linux is Shit... it is just a Cobbled together pieces of Crappy un-related C source files with glue holding them together? (Slightly paraphrased, but generally the same) And further more, there is no way to make a "modular" kernel as fast as a monlithic kernel. (When in fact the "modular" kernel is in fact STILL classified as Monlithic due to the ways the system passes info)

It turned out to you *NOT* putting the correct System.map in place... and you never really said thanks, to any of us, that did help you get the right pieces of info, to help you out. And the same one that recently started to want to build a machine "from the source up" and you have been pointed to Gentoo (excellent Distro BTW) and Linux From Scratch (another well documented system of thinking), and have recently also Bitched about RPM dependancies... Yet STILL use a Prebuilt RPM-Based Distribution?

Yes, these are small points, but they definately paint the picture for you. Please just take the time and download the First ISO of Debian Woody (3.0r1) and install from there... It's not as pretty(the install that is) as say SuSE or RedHat or even ManDrake... But it ends up giving you a "Base Machine" to work from. Tis nice. There are alot of things that need to be learnt... but nothing a seasoned warrior as youself can't handle.

It helps to allow yourself to Grow... I refused to use Debian in the Past because of my refusal to want to get outside my box. But, I'll say that since I now have a local Mirror of the Debian Archive (US, non-US and security)... I am waist deep into Debian and I am upto about the 85% area on the "RC" (resistive/capacitive)(laugh people that's a good pun) curve... If you get to the 70.7% mark... you'll feel alot better. You might even find alot of things you didn't realize...

New Re: Not to put salt into a wound...
I said SuSE 8.0 was released too early, and that I had a bitch of a time getting USB to work correctly. I vented frustration at it, and then I fixed it.

As for dependencies, as long as it's a UNIX clone, it will have dependency issues - nothing will fix that, and you know it.

System.map? That was never an issue. I solved the multiple kernel System.map issue years ago on my old PS/2s. Don't know how you got that idea.
