Re: etch vs sarge



I can't really comment on the specifics of mysql or php, but my trial of etch via an upgrade, and then via a fresh install, was disastrous. Besides a prettier gdm, I loathed everything about it, and am now happily back with Sarge. Etch is anally retentive with the repositories, it doesn't have Webmin, strange conflicts with the kernel image and udev. . . . Unless you absolutely must have the latest, I'd recommend sticking with Sarge.

I have Webmin (1.180-3) in Etch. Udev (0.084-5) and linux-image-2.6.15 needed apt-get -f install but seem to work fine once installed.

Well Chris, that's encouraging news. I'm going to wait a bit, I think, but eventually I'll try to upgrade once again. For now, I figure, "if it's not broke, don't fix it." Sarge currently is suiting me fine.
