[wplug] Dust off that red hat and wear the Debian silk suit

Hi everyone,
I really had a fine time upgrading Storm-Linux.
(I added alsa, by the way, over oss which seems to
support an excellent clarity of sound) 
It's very disapointing that the finanical problems
for this Distro were so acute that they folded.
Nevertheless, Storm-Linux lives on as a consequence of
being Debian based, therefore with unique possibilities
of upgrade. When Mandrake-Linux finally sputters out, as
I believe it will within a year, if not already, it will
be so unconvenient to upgrade that it will be a memory.
(Oh well, if it was Debian based it could at least exist
after bankruptcy for possible upgrade)

I have grown to appreciate Debian and the many Distros
that support it. My friends who use Debian, and who have
suffered the ordeal of RPM, call RPM, dependency hell.

Anyone who has tried to sew dependencies together with RPM and been successfull must be a very great linux user.
Therefore, such skill should be given the greatest of respect.

For those who do not want to work with such undeveloped and
dead end methods of linux I highly recommend Debian with the
apt-get commands.

Dust off that Red Hat, gentlemen, and wear the Debian silk suit.

Respectfully,
David Bersson

No, Don. "I" am quite the dolt.

I deleted this whole thread (except for this last message) with out reading
it, and now I'm out a good laugh.

You are a known advocate of RedHat and their insidious 'RPM', and the
totally subversive 'up2date'.  You probably also use elecric pencil
sharpeners and drink instant coffee.

You are not worthy
