Re: Why is debian "more of a learning curve" than Redhat???
I think it is because of the conflict resolution screen and the fact that
Debian offers more alternatives than Red Hat. Maybe there are TOO MANY
alternatives offered for a new install.
Example ... try selecting cnews on a clean instll and it throws you into
the conflict resolution screen right away. Red Hat gives you no choice in
the matter, if you want news transport you get inn.
Newbies also tend to install too much in the initial dselect menu causing
a lot of time in conflict resolution. About the only thing I do the
firstr time through dselect is unselect emacs and select the MTA that I
want and let the rest of it install from its defaults. Then I run it a
second time to change things. I find that I have a LOT less trouble this
way.
