By informing ppl that Debian is "old and useless". Only then will thay upgrade too the new and
feature full versions thay are looking for. This is a feature not a bug.
No REALY, explain to them that thay should use debian's update(as compared to win update) feature
One of the big selling points of Debian is it's 'dselect'(I hate ppl trying to use apt-get when
thay haven't a clue) It's so good in fack that it's not nessesary or desierable to ship updated
software when it's avalible. It would be unthinkable to make new CD images 3 or 4 times a week to
keep up. Even woody would have too many CD images if there was a new one every time something was
uploaded to security.
Don't complain or it's practical that there won't be any r*(s) to complain about. :)
