Did you miss my rebuttal of your "rant" in the other thread? Here it is again, just in case you missed it.Panarchy wrote:Although my rant about the usability of Debian is still valid.
You complained that Debian is not "useable" because:
Yes. Let's install a distribution that was released back in April 2007 and complain that it doesn't have a browser that was released 14 months later (June 2008). What were those Debian developers thinking anyway? Why didn't they just "foreport" the software?Panarchy wrote:The Firefox version that was installed was something like version 2.0.0.19. Not the latest version (3.0.5) and not even the most recent version 2 (2.0.0.20).
Which is the last security update for the version 2 of Firefox...
So there's my first hassle. I change Debian repostiories to Ubuntu's, update the repositories. Apt-get remove firefox, apt-get install firefox, was still getting version 2.0.0.19. So I did a sudo apt-get clean, followed by a, sudo apt-get autoclean. Then I ran sudo apt-get update once more.
Apt-get remove firefox, apt-get install firefox. Still getting 2.0.0.19.
And while we're at it, let's ignore Debian Backports and jeopardize the stability of our systems by mixing Debian and Ubuntu repositories. No need to worry. When APT complains that a package isn't installable, we'll just blame Debian.
Blaming Debian will solve all of our problems.
