Re: What's wrong with debian?
Well you can use sarge, seems stable enough, however no
security. Thats a major issue in my mind.
Could you explain that in newbie-ease? I seem to be getting updates for
sarge from security.debain.org. Why do you say "no security"? I elected to
stay with sarge as it went stable FOR the security updates.
e.g.
Matthew:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main
deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main
#The url below is for clamav updates
deb http://people.debian.org/~sgran/debian sarge main
Matthew:~# apt-get update
