Linspire It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

RE: Why slur Libranet?
by dr_gonzo on Thu 27th Nov 2003 01:21 UTC

i'm not trolling here.

i found that libranet 2.8 was mixed and you'd find yourself upgrading to sarge as soon as you'd type and apt-get upgrade. when you go out of stable, it's harder to install 3rd party apps, like the latest KDE.

i understand that libranet are aiming for an easy debian install but they should keep to the stable branch and then backport the kernel, DEs, browsers and other things like K3B. if people want to create problems for themselves by upgrading to sarge or sid, they can then do so.

i suppose my posts sound like i'm one of those anal flamers but i'm not really. each to his own. i just feel that, for easy to install desktop linux, people should use one of the top distros.
