The way that he bangs on about Vista being brilliant and super-speedy, I think EkO has installed Ubuntu by mistake you know  _________________ The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway.

I know this is going to sound silly but WHY Debian over Ubuntu? Seriously. What does Debian give that Ubuntu doesn't and vice versa?

A student, in hopes of understanding the Lambda-nature, came to Greenblatt. As they spoke a Multics system hacker walked by. "Is it true," asked the student, "that PL-1 has many of the same data types as Lisp?" Almost before the student had finished his question, Greenblatt shouted, "FOO!", and hit the student with a stick.

ubuntu = desktop for me debian for servers why this way ? debian spend ages making sure everything is 100% stable before the release - why its always a bit behind the likes of redhat ubuntu make it easy to install and have lots of nice toys to help with a stream line install when was the last time you make a X cfg in unubtu etc etc and more to the point why would you want to _________________

I KNEW there was a reason why I didn't download debian - 5 DVD's totalling 19.2Gb of ISO's  Just to put that into perspective, this would EXCEED my off-peak download limit

a 50mb boot image is all you need, the rest will come down off the net and only the stuff you need
my dns server is about 70mb in total inc the os

that is a full server - running bind and ssh - thats all it does hence its full
i have a full server for apachie + php + mysql + postfix - thats about 1.5gb including about 2 years of weblogs so theres a good few 100mb`s thats not takin into account user web space
full server being every package ever ? then you need all the dvd`s but thats stupid - i think your missing the point
get a boot image and select the packages you want and it will go get them for you off the net
average install as a desktop machine kde / gnome / mozzila / sound etc about 800mb to 1.5gb depending on what else you stick on there -dvd1 basically
if you where to install it all thats like saying get windows 2008 server / install all the msdn stuff or what ever it is these days , then install every complier for every programming laungauge + everything ever to do with them + every peace of software + every game etc etc etc you would have more icons than geoff ever did

So, the ETERNAL question - KDE or Gnome? And why? For desktop, of course.
