Re: How would I get debian unstable?
Hi, I'm the one who asked about getting unstable and the different distributions compared to debian. I have a few more questions, sorry. First question: How would I reply correctly so that my reply is still in the same topic?
Someone mentioned something about apt-get upgrade causing locked packages that won't get upgraded or something... thats the kind of stuff I want to learn. How would I learn about how debian works and how to configure it all? All I have been doing so far is just googling the problems I have run into, but I'm not really learning anything.
Also, when you guys say SUSe do you mean openSuSE? Because I would like to try it out, but the only one I could find out how to download was openSuSE.
Last question(s), is there a unix one I could get for free? Are they similar to linux? What are the differences?

Brrrrr!
better "apt-get dist-upgrade" to handle in a better way packages replacing
and new dependencies. More better is "aptitude"...
only "apt-get upgrade" may cause a lot of locked packages not upgrade
automagically and the system became too much hybrid...
