Anyone used Debian?
« on: June 21, 2005, 03:17:56 pm »
I've got a DVD image around here that I've been meaning to install; I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  Any thoughts on how it works?
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

If it's anything like Virtual CD v7, it should be really easy to use. :)

Oh, haha. I'm not very Linux educated. Never heard of "Debian," but since I spotted "DVD image," I assumed it was a virtual CD-drive-like program. :)

I've heard only a few good things about it.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I use it. It's sitting in a laptop with no screen as a webserver.

There is a new one out with an apperently extreamly streamlined installer (Sarge), but when I get back to Wisconsin I need to install from Woody.
