Re: new to debian...how can I use the most current apps in woody
Ken,
Thank you for responding...
Currently I am using Suse 7.3 for the powerppc and would like to try to
debians ppc version. My Suse has been running beautifuly since last
summer and I am tired of the rpm based.. This is why I am trying
debian...
Yes i ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. It went through the
ftp sites and found things and then just ended.. I got the prompt back
and nothing was installed..
I will changed the /etc/apt/sources.list to woody and let you know.
