I manage a solution for one of my company partners which is based on etch with backported kernels. There are many things I like about it... and I agree on the clean upgrade path and very good package management. But the downsides to debian have been holding me back... 1) I miss yast. aptitude is just not the same. 2) Vendor support is officially non-existant. We are a Dell shop and upgrading openmanage is a pain. With SuSE its download and go. 3) I understand the ideology and legal reasons debian removes firmware blobs (broadcom anyone) from their kernel modules... but this is always a real pain. I end up monkeying about with the initrd image to get the firmware blobs in... and often I just recompile with the blobs and forget it.

Enough to make me consider switching. And I know the XFS has never given me a lick of trouble. *Didn't want to seem off topic. Had to throw in the XFS reference at the end. lol. Thanks again for everyone's input. Its Much Appreciated! -Cheers, Peter. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/XFS-Filesystem-not-mounting-tp29704010p29710491.html Sent from the Xfs - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
