Is that what it is? Hmm, I could, but then I would be begging this list
for help all the time. ;) Well, maybe I should do that anyway since I
do have one problem that I cannot seem to solve.
Considering that I am still a noob, I can feel proud that I can pluck
things from experimental and still have no broken packages. I have even
managed to edit a few files and written a couple of scripts, Oh boy.
Why don't I run Sid? The same reason many others run Lenny. They are
afraid of Sid. Although I have to say, problems get fixed in Sid long
before they get fixed in Lenny, and as I am getting more familiar with
Debian, I am becoming less afraid of it. At least I am no longer
running Kubuntu. I got bored with Etch because it is too stable for me
to learn how to fix things. I was planning on running Lenny when I
found Sidux. It seemed the best fit for me. Maybe I should try Sid
directly and see what the difference is. I have a feeling that it is
less than I think, but there's only one way to find out.
But I would not recommend people new to GNU/Linux to run Sid. I still
only have less than a year's experience. It's only been a couple of
months since I formatted my ntfs partition.
Tomorrow my Etch is going to turn into Sid. I let you know how it does.
Worst case scenario I can reinstall Etch.
I accept your challenge.
Joe
