True dat. Unfortunately I found out the hard way I'm not competent
enough to use it (and I'd rather not go through the bother of formatting
my HDD again, I have over 5GB of music, and about 2-3 GB of txt
documents, install bundles (mainly tar-gz (that is until I started
downloading the RH9 RPM's)). If I had a smaller HDD I could spare, I
would install Deb to it and slowly migrate...somehow (biggest HDD I have
past the one I'm using now is only 5GB).
