I Was Wrong…

As a Suse user, I was pleased by the ability to use pin to find packages and yast -i to install them from the command line. Pointing my yast sources to the Suse ftp servers meant I didn’t even have to reach for a disk when I wanted to install something. I thought that was pretty good.

But apt-cache search beats pin hands down and apt-get install makes yast -i seem like a dinosaur.

The more I use Debian, the more I love it.

    Wow! I haven’t been reading my feeds lately so I missed out on your switch to Debian. You’ve been busy here, huh? Anyway, good to see that you’re apt-getting now :)

    Thanks for your comments machiner. I’ll be scouring your site for more useful howtos on a regular basis

    Hey Corey! Nothing like a switch of distro to set off a burst of tinkering!
