A lot of Debian people seem to just not get Ubuntu. I think this demonstrates why Ubuntu was needed in the first place. It's built for a different audience. It's obvious Bret that you really know your way around a Linux box....for people that don't I think Ubuntu is a slightly more friendly option.
Hum. Perhaps I ought to try it then?
Installing Debian is like being greased, and wrestling with an eel.
