In my experience Ubuntu doesn't really care about packages outside of a nar= row set of "desktop" or "regular user" ones, and therefore is not a good choice= for a such use. E.g. they have been shipping an ancient version of mdadm (2.6.x) long after it was no longer sane to even try using it. :) You can compare=20 http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=3Dmdadm with http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=3Dmdadm&searchon=3Dnames&suite= =3Dall§ion=3Dall and notice that Debian generally has a newer mdadm. --=20 With respect, Roman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Stallman had a printer, with code he could not see.
