Can you tell us some of those features? I was under the impression that sited people liked RedHat because of it's GUI tools. I personally like Debian because of it's apt-get program. If I ever want to install a program most of the time, all I have to do is type "apt-get install program_name." Whenever I want to upgrade to the latest release of Debian, all I have to do is type "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt-get -u dist-upgrade." On Thu, 1 May 2003, Thomas D. Ward wrote: > Hi, Patrick.
