Debian does a damn good job when it come to package handling. Other distributions are a completely different case. SuSE (which is a great distribution for beginners IMHO) is always a PITA to update. Even an update from 8.1 to 8.2 is no fun. The advised way (not by SuSE, but by its users) to update a SuSE system is to reformat the HD first *sigh*. -- Matthias Hentges Cologne / Germany [www.hentges.net] -> PGP welcome, HTML tolerated ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URL's My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice
