Probably that's why they are so darn good! > > ISTR that even Ubuntu overtook Debian... what about Debian 4.x? I'm glad with KNOPPIX 4.0 too. But, I hope we don't think about Debian 3.1 etc. for a new box & new installation! Since I've found lynx or links plus some html tool is not enough (too dangerous) to configure locally cups or samba (don't remember now, it was around the beginning of Ubuntu), and there is X and probably gnome necessary for this, and it wasn't like this with other distros, I think Ubuntu's way of thinking is definitely too good for me... Jarek P. PS: this could look like some flame war, or something, so let's say all (GPL2) Linux distros and all gcc versions are extremely nice!
