Thanks, I probably wouldn't have found that out for a while.

I meant that neither gnome nor kde was installed that time. ^_^U sorry about the confusion.

hmmm... should this be another line, or does non-free include free as well?

sorry, but there appears to be nothing in the code box to me ^_^U

But I found a really cool package that will do it for me, and it will do it after testing official mirrors from debian.org. It...

Well, I am using Debian etch. The problem is that several of my entries apparently don't have proper lists on those sites for apt-get. I can't tell which entries these are that are giving me a...

I think it was only down because I was accessing the extremely long list of repositories, and they said that it should only be done in extreme circumstances, because it's that big.

Fast, huh? I like fast... Any particular features that are lacking in other versions?

Well, alright, I'll look those up when I gather my bearings, and then I'll decide how much patience I have.

But what about Debian? How does this community rate it? (that's the only one I've ever...

Quick! Tell me what Linux would be best for exploring Linux itself, and for programming languages and gaming?

I am going to put Linux on my computer, but there are like 3,000 different kinds, and...
