Re: [Plug] Distritubtion Question

Hi Roger,
What I was attempting to say was with RH and others was that sometimes
when upgrading the config files that you worked on to twek your system
for your own needs were overwritten by the upgrade without warning.
Also, I have found that some distributions are not as careful with their
upgrades and there are broken packages after the upgrade. Though you
can upgrade other distributions besides Debian, I personally like the
Debian system for they seem most conscientious about making sure that
the system doesn't break upon upgrade.
I hope that you have a good day :-)
