I hope you enjoyed your stay

I saw today that Sid now has Xorg:

I know a lot of people installed Ubuntu to get Xorg, and I know some will leave. I hope a few will stay.

For those that are leaving- good luck and I hope Ubuntu and its community was good to you.

Debian Sid finally has Xorg? What took them so long? Were they smoking crack and reading Harry Potter?

No, you mean Harry Pothead. (http://www.zachzintel.com/art/harrypothead.jpg)
On a sidenote, XFree86 is only somewhat bad in Linux distros, BSD systems it works a lot better, and is standard due to how it's maintained and "ported".

Can I ask what's so bad about XFree86? I haven't seen any difference between that and Xorg.

I installed Debian today (netinstall) and should have Sid, but don't have xorg. Still running XF86.

(maybe a little bit OT)
In the latest stable FreeBSD release (5.4), Xorg is standard - which is, XFree86
has also been superseded on FreeBSD.

Eye Candy.

Eye Candy.

and stability.

in my previous SuSE 9.2 install, merely trying to add middle-button scroll to my xf86.conf crashed X. Assuming the worst, i re-installed 3 times before figureing out the issue (and then switching to Ubuntu 'cause i couldn't fix it)

[JPatrick]

7 CDs to install (I can't do netinstall)

No, just one, the others contain extra software.

I'm not going anywhere :D

Though I have thought of installing Debian just to see if I could :D

Then again, I have pulled a Gentoo Stage 1 off...but I think this is the tinkerer in me wanting something to do :D

My rule of thumb, if you do a stage 1 Gentoo install, you can install anything.

LOL, no.

Whenever I get another HD, I'm gonna leave like 5 GBs so I can do a LFS install :D
