Somewhat outdated info in /intro/why_debian

[David Martinez CSIC RedIRIS <david.martinez@rediris.es>]

	Hello. In the "Lack of popular commercial software" paragraph, we say:

...(conservative estimates put the number of installations between 5-10 
million as of February 1998)...

	I think this info is outdated, as well the amount of packages in Debian 
(2500 vs. 3950 in the front page).

	Also, in the section "Easy upgrades", we point that the user only needs to 
run dselect and point it to a CDROM or any of the mirrors over the world. But 
why not apt? Apt is better, simpler, and (I think) the preferred way of 
installing and upgrading the distribution. You may claim that is only an 
option, but I really think that that page is for the newbie, and we need to 
promote apt instead of dselect, like in "Dselect  (the front-end to Debian's 
packaging system, dpkg) is confusing to learn.". There we explain to the user 
that dselect isn't the only way to manage packages. Apt exists for that and 
many more, after all.

	Be well,


		David.
