Since Etch is nearly ready to be released, I decided that my best
bet was to keep the new kernel and replace everything else! ;-) I
chose to dist-upgrade to Etch.
I've been using Etch now since Sunday night, and everything is
working really smooth. Everything seems a lot faster, too. No doubt
some of that is due to the improved video card, but boot time is
faster and everything I do when working without X also seems faster.
Hi Dave,
You feedback is really appreciated. Btw, if you want to install the
same set of packages as the default (GNOME) desktop environment, i
recommend you: aptitude update && aptitude install desktop
gnome-desktop (there are xfce-desktop and kde-desktop too). Keep in
mind that desktop and gnome-desktop aren't metapackages but tasks (as
in tasksel). In other words, d-i uses tasksel to install set of
packages and not metapackages or a 'hardcoded into d-i' list of
packages.
I would like to thank the developers who are busting their buns to
get Etch ready for release! Can anyone suggest other Debian mailing
lists I can post my thanks to, so that the greatest possible number of
developers will see it? (I realize that "thanks" is just noise, and
not productive, but everyone wants to hear that their hard work is
appreciated!)
You're welcome, thanks. There's no perfect list to send 'thanks', but
debian-project is a good one. This mailing list is suited for non
technical discussions.
I've a question on behalf of the Debian Ombudsman Team:
- Is there any current issue you would like to see solved into our
post-etch release (Lenny) ?
FYI, we will open a ombudsman account soon to be the voice of the
community into the project and work on some more interesting stuff.
We've just started setting up stuff into alioth.debian.org.
