Good point. Nothing. However...By predeliction I like to know exactly what are the dependencies of my Sarge system. Meaning first of all "what packages", but then "what files, tarballs, etc.".
So I install Sarge from scratch from a script.If I use apt-get over the network, it is a long drawn out process, since the network is a dial-up line, no DSL/Cable in sight, and you never know what has been updated
If I use the CD's it is a 20 min process that I can fine-tune.Now the CD's is another story: there are 14 now (everybody don't holler "but you don't need them all".)
So I just ordered Sarge from http://linuxcdrs.com/ and I find the price very reasonable, but we will see what the mailman bringeth, stay tune ;-)
