As those who know me, at least in the computer realm, know, I am a fan of the Mepis Live cd. I just got Mepis-lite and installed it to my hard drive. Its was super easy to install and if everything’s there, as I expect it to be, I may not replace it with Gentoo, which is always the constant threat.

We’ll see if the dreamy-easy install will be matched by an equally dreamy upgrade. I just added Debian sources to the list of Synaptic mirrors. We’ll see…

    Booted back in today and everything’s great, except that Debian uses an older version of programs, in the name of rock solid stability (of which I’ve never seen). Without changing my sources to “Sid” just to keep updated on Clamav (yes, I’ll care about the virii I have in my emails passed on from others), I’ll add the “debian-volatile” sources for that program only. :d

    Yep, and Debian-based distributions suck, as they’re only useful when a mix of sources are used, which only works for a while, until there’s a version mismatch. Then you’re back in dependancy hell all over again! I can see why Slackware has so many zealous followers!
