apt-get and dependencies
by Will Senn on Wed 26th Nov 2003 18:36 UTC

You aren't kidding, the dependencies get so convoluted when you use apt-get and CNR that it just isn't worth it. Lindows satisfies as a desktop distro except for the font aliasing (pretty ugly). Lindows as a linux distro for power users? Nope, not a good mix - step away from the CNR and you will quickly hit the wall.

Thanks for the article, very similar to my current experience with 4.0.579
