Hi,
The book sucks, would not dare to say so, since there is a forword by
Linus himself. (Don't tell me -they- put pressure on him to do so)
It's mostly a beginner's admin (me) studybook, i don't tend to use books
really often and this book is good at keeping pace with me somehow.
My mail originated mostly out of disbelief, i've been using Debian/GNU
Linux on and off for the past couple of years and have successfully
switched to linux since the past year or so. In my experience Debian is
solid and well maintained, and then one reads a phrase like that.
Debian wich is considered solid by most would have some gigantic
weakness with inconsistent (unchecked) scripts ?
// incosistent is my spellingerror :-)
Since i'm no good at anything close to scripting i thought it would be
informational to post this paragraph to this list ... I think of taking
a dive into scriptingworld, eek!
Thanks to all for your reply's.
Joris
ps: the SuSE question was kinda confussingly stupid, i admit
