[News] Debian a Good Desktop O/S Distribution, Adept 3.0 Simplifies PM

Debian as a Desktop GNU+Linux Distribution

,----[ Quote ]
| Thinking about it, I’m not entirely sure what constitutes an “end-user 
| distribution”. Perhaps I am equating an “end-user distribution” with 
| a “desktop distribution”. And why not? What determines if a GNU+Linux 
| distribution is an end-user distribution? It seems to me that the packages 
| that are available within the distribution, and the functionality of said 
| packages, are what determines if a distribution is an end-user distribution. 
| And, as most people are aware, Debian contains a huge amount of packages 
| within its repositories. Packages that deliver no less functionality than 
| those GNU+Linux distributions that everyone can agree are “end-user 
| distributions”. Just that fact, alone, should be enough to convince anyone 
| that Debian is, indeed, an end-user distribution.

Adept 3.0 Beta 4

,----[ Quote ]
| I have released fourth beta of Adept today. For the unaware, Adept is an APT 
| front-end for KDE: it lets you install, remove, upgrade software and such 
| your Debian and Kubuntu boxes (and maybe on some other Debian derivatives, 
| too).
