Actually, in today reconsidering upgrading to Debian 5.0, and, reading the information on the Debian web site, and, in checking using the package search facility on the Debian web site, I have found that Debian 5.0 excludes Iceape and Seamonkey, and does not include any Mozilla applications, so, with the elimination of Iceape/Seamonkey, Debian 5.0 is simply not as functional, or, as useful to me, as Debian 4.0.
I was investigating upgrading to Debian 5.0, as a printer that I have just bought, which appears too difficult to get running on Debian 4.0, apparently operates as a Plug And Play device on Debian 5.0 and Ubuntu 8.04, but, it appears that I will simply have to sacrifice using the printer with Debian, as Debian 5.0, with which the printer apparently works well, is too lacking in functionality and usefulness, to switch to.
