Any body have Debian Lenny enabled in your Ubuntu Repositories

looks like synaptic is open?

i don't think it was open at the time, but it could have been. i'm running

apt-get update

again, but it looks to be stuck at

Reading package lists... 65%

edit: I just restarted the computer and tried to 'apt-get update' again and it is stuck at 65% again.

well i think i'm going to give up on this one. if anything i learned a few things from trying to get this to work. stuff like this is a great way to learn linux, for me at least.

What's the difference between doing this and a clean install of Debian from the Debian Installer CD?

It seems I best learn how things work when I break them and put them back together.

So when people do this are the leaving they ubuntu repos also enabled? Or commenting them out and just upgrading off of the debian repos?

I'm curious, in the beginning of the thread you said it made your system more stable, do you still think that was the case? Of course Debian packages are more throughly tested but just mixing Debain with Ubuntu packages, even if it basically is the same distro, sounds like a very unstable mix.


But I'm not expert of course.

yes I found my system to be more stable, but I was using Elive Gem back then. So I didn't mix Ubuntu & Debian.

I am now using Xubuntu 7.10 with e17 CVS.

It's the code name for Debian Release 4, the current stable release of Debian.
