Me too. That said it seems hard to believe that linkchecker was an
official package. I can't find it in the potato archives
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/web/
So let say that debian is perfect ;-)
Related experience, I bought a new laptop this month (an apple) and
installed debian along MacOs-X "without using any physical media" (see:
