Back to my Roots
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005Well a few days ago I went back to my roots and installed Debian on my main desktop. I had been using Kubuntu for the past 3 months or so and really enjoyed it, however it had a few annoyances that finally got to me. Konqueror crashing fairly often is one of them. I expectred this to be fixed quickly, however it was not. Another major problem I had was with packages. Quite a few packages have messed up dependencies and/or are completely broken. Eric3 and PyKDE being the ones I remember the most. Since I am into Python programming right now, I found this extremely annoying and unacceptable. Kubuntu was great, however I think it is too new and has a lot of work to do before Breezy is released.
I am currently running Debian Etch, but I plan on upgrading to Debian Sid pretty soon. I read that there is a lot of new packages being worked into Sid right now that may cause some breakage, so I need to look into this more before upgrading.
