Debian 3.0r4 Released

SeaFox writes "The Debian group has released an update to the 'Woody' distribution of the popular Linux/GNU OS. From the site: 'This is the fourth update of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (codename woody) which mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.' But the question on everyone's mind is probably when the current Testing branch, featuring much more up-to-date packages, will be named the new stable release."

And dselect is effectively replaced by aptitude.

RPM is a package that sucks balls too. But it's something that does a lot of cool stuff if you know how to use it. And if you don't, there's tools that run on top of rpm to make it simpler to use for people like me who have no interest in spending the hours reading the man pages.

So instead of being some kind of troll just quit your bitching and either go back to your preferred distribution or use something more highly recommended like aptitude.

Has anyone noticed that the RPM distributions are starting to use the apt-get approach?

Let the sheep use Windows and be stupid and pathetic and annoying and let the rest of us use Linux and have a clue and not have to deal with the sheep unless we need some money.

Except when the sheep catch a virus that generates enough network traffic in attemping to spread to bring your connection down.

Or you work for a company that makes your desktop machine Windows. With IE only. Because that's what everyone in the company uses.

Or hell, even when a site you access (your college, your bank, whatever) "upgrades" itself with new features galore, which only work under IE with JavaScript and ActiveX on, and in fact only gives you "You must be using browser version 4.0 or better to access this page. Click here to download a free update." under any other browser.

Then you have to deal with Windows.

And by the way: you can take that elitist attitude of "All Windows users are idiots who like fucking up their systems by downloading random shit." and shove it.
