Joe Hart is not worthy of being an ethicist. Although he does have
strong opinions, that is exactly what they are. I mean come on, the guy
isn't really running Debian. He uses Sidux. What kind of ethical
statement is that?
</flame>
Ethics has nothing to do with it. He's just not manly enough to run
Sid.


Is that what it is? Hmm, I could, but then I would be begging this list
for help all the time. ;) Well, maybe I should do that anyway since I
do have one problem that I cannot seem to solve.

Considering that I am still a noob, I can feel proud that I can pluck
things from experimental and still have no broken packages. I have even
managed to edit a few files and written a couple of scripts, Oh boy.

Heh. Everyone starts out as a newbie. My first Linux was
pre-installed Mandrake. I'd have never survived Debian back then
when Woody was still Testing.

Why don't I run Sid? The same reason many others run Lenny. They are
afraid of Sid. Although I have to say, problems get fixed in Sid long
before they get fixed in Lenny, and as I am getting more familiar with
Debian, I am becoming less afraid of it. At least I am no longer
running Kubuntu. I got bored with Etch because it is too stable for me
to learn how to fix things. I was planning on running Lenny when I
found Sidux. It seemed the best fit for me. Maybe I should try Sid
directly and see what the difference is. I have a feeling that it is
less than I think, but there's only one way to find out.

But I would not recommend people new to GNU/Linux to run Sid. I still
only have less than a year's experience. It's only been a couple of
months since I formatted my ntfs partition.

Too true. I recommend Ubuntu to newbies, especially those who only
know Windows.

Tomorrow my Etch is going to turn into Sid. I let you know how it does.
Worst case scenario I can reinstall Etch.

I accept your challenge.

I hope your /home is on a separate partition!!!!
