RE: [Plug] I figured out how free high speed internet access for everyone will happen
|
potato for the most part won't have any bugs that another upgrade the next
day (usually a daily 500k download on average) can't fix, and debian has
over three times as many packages as red hat. If you're on the technical
side and can fix stuff and diagnose rather simple problems, you'll love
debian.
