Hallo, Marv Smoak hat gesagt: // Marv Smoak wrote: > Are deb packages available for kernels/rpms in the Planet CCRMA collection? Debian has the largest selection of packages of all distributions AFAIK. There are various packages for low latency or capabilities patches on 2.4 kernels in Debian (unstable/testing) or you could install the DeMuDi pre-built kernel package. > And what else is better from a system setup/maintenance point of > view? I wouldn't necessarily call anything "better" in particular, but the package management system is great, as I already wrote, as is, that every package, that needs configuring, does so on installation using a customizable, but common way called debconf. And then you can always install the software you prefer for system administration. In my case this is just Vim, though. ;) Other distributions offer more centralized admin tools. Suse for example has Yast2. In Debian the choice is yours. This can be a problem to someone who hasn't yet decided on the favourite way to administer a system. If you want something more graphical and centralized, than Webmin is a good choice, I guess. But I don't know these kinds of tools very well, so maybe someone else has other suggestions.
