And with the Debian apt-get mechanism it's pretty easy to keep everything up to date (and occasionally clobber the whole thing as well! :o) ). But with an install that easy who cares?
occasionally clobber the whole thing? I've managed it twice in 2 nights. The first night I managed to (I think) remove KDE from the session options in KDM, although Kmail, KSirc etc. still worked, and in trying to fix that the next night, delete all the rest of KDE. All through doing a simple apt-get -f install :) Well, OK, I suppose that depends on how you define 'clobber' I suppose.
Then, since I was in an interesting arguement on IRC I decided to install morphix quickly so I could get back into the frey (no other irc software installed), totally forgot that lilo.conf needs a bit of playing wth to get it booting and turned my 'puter off in disgust when it wouldn't boot.
I wonder if there's a program that will prevent me from logging in as root when I've come back from the pub?
