Re: You can try VM. Re: Gnus for mail: How do I setup my system.
Hi,
I'm sure nothing is wrong with Debian's prepackaged VM. I didn't know it
existed, and didn't think to check. I'd really like to manage emacs
packages through dpkg actually, especially if it took care of all the
emacs lisp 'require and loadpath and autoloading and autoloading cookies
crap for me.
