RE: Why is Debian lagging so much behind Slackware?
Debian is not lagging behind Slackware. I don't understand your
complaint.
Everything available in Slackware 8.0 is available in sid. (and then
some)
I like both of them. My first distro was Slack 3.6, then I found hamm. I
have tried a couple different versions of RH and SuSE but I prefer
Debian or Slack.
What is the problem with boot disks? I have an old potato CD (2.2 r 0)
that I use to load a base system then use apt to install the desired
version of Debian -- potato if maximum stability is required, sid for
the bleeding edge, or woody for the middle ground. You don't need a
woody boot disk to load woody.
