Debian is _the_ distribution with the most ports of Linux. For example, Xfree was developped for running on I386. With Debian and the great Work of the Xfree-Strike-Force-Team :) we have ports for XFree on several arches. 13 I think. That is the tribute of the Debian-Distribution. >If these problems were on x86, you would have had a new glibc-2.2.5 asap. I can understand Ben Collins. We have a policy and we have supported Compiler, that is gcc-2.95 :( But we will switch over to gcc-3.x after woody is released. The thing is, that we are working for a distribution. I do not want to get OpenOffice.org running on my IBook. I want to get OpenOffice.org running on much Computers, which have debian-system on it and where people want to use the power of the package-management-system. But, many when many people using OpenOffice.org, they find many errors, which we have to fix, and sometime with the help from the OpenOffice.org- Team .. :) >Frustrating isn't it. Yes.. in some distributions, like RedHat,SuSE, etc etc you are right. :( I do not have any I386 Computers running at my home, thats why I have Debian and not others. If I do not work foer Debian, I would use LFS :) Regards Jan -- .''`.
