Debian

2000-09-22 23:14:14+00 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

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!
