My initial +impression is as follows: HOLY CRAP! The installer is a bit rough, +but once you get past that and get apt properly configured, +installing and setting up new software is a joke. It took me about +20 seconds to install Apache (<code>apt-get install apache</code>), +then I realized I didn't have PHP4 installed (<code>apt-get install +php4</code>). Installing other stuff was about the same. +<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom</a> walked me through a +dist-upgrade to unstable (more than a bit of a misnomer, I might add). +After years of the untold pain and suffering that is RPM, Windows, and +MacOS software installs, I am completely in awe of Debian Package +management. I'm sure Debian has it's quirks, but for the moment I'm +completely hooked. In fact, while I was writing this I just installed +ispell to double-check the spelling of a word. +<br /><br /> + +The other interesting bit of news for the day is a little shell +script i wrote for accessing <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>. +You can grab it <a href="/download/?only=google">here</a>. + + |
