Damn, I'm rapidly losing faith in this whole "fight monocultures" thing. I got the Debian 2.2 disks, and decided that upgrading my laptop while I did other stuff today would be fun. The upgrade wasn't bad, but it was a lot of hassle for a system that still uses Perl 5.005, glibc2.0, and PostgreSQL 6.something. Grumble grumble build the bloody thing myself from source grumble grumble. Somebody wanna remind me why I left Slackware?

Well, there's the opportunity to add the line: deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free to your /etc/apt/source.list file and then apt-get install postgresql or even apt-get dist-upgrade to get all the latest goodies. This is what DSL is *for* man!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
