Message-ID: <3E0A5D76@mailandnews.com> (raw)
As usual, helpful suggestions, Ray. Thank you. As I often do, I seem to have
mistakenly presumed my first exposure to a given component (Aptitude) as more
peculiar to the context in which I encountered it (the Libranet distro) than
it really is. So, I now learn that this is a Debian application. Thanks for
making that clear. Overall, my experience with the HD install of Knoppix was
far superior to what I've had with Libranet. I went with either/both of those,
btw Ray, because of what I've heard (and a bit of what I've seen) about
difficulties in installing real Debian. I thought these 2 would spare me some
newbie nightmares. At least in the case of Libranet though, it seems I was
mistaken. In addition to other problems I've had with it, it's also not
dealing well with my modem (for whatever unfathomable reason - I never had any
modem problem under Knoppix). I may end up taking your advice, Ray, and just
going with straight Debian. James
