As noted, either approach has positive and negative attributes. For Debian, the system is curated in such a way so that "dependency hell" is minimized. Problems can arise when one installs packages from outside of the Debian packaging system. One key thing to remember is that Debian is not a bug-for-bug replacement for MS Windows, it is its own system. May I suggest the Debian Reference manual as a good starting point: https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#quick-reference - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true." Web: https://www.n0nb.us Projects: https://github.com/N0NB GPG fingerprint: 82D6 4F6B 0E67 CD41 F689 BBA6 FB2C 5130 D55A 8819
