However, today for example, I upgraded the kernel:

urpmi --update kernel

urpmi --update kernel-source

then run the NVIDIA installer, and boom I'm up again, with LILO configured automagically. I'm hoping the new kernel (2.4.22-21) will prove more stable, but if it doesn't, is apt similar in it's "user friendliness"?

apt-get is @ least as friendly.

Like when I update Apache, it's not going to require me to reconfigure, apt-get does the necessary fiddly bits for me? It shouln't.

I don't mind having to learn a bit more about the guts of my system, quite the contrary, but I'm not looking for *too* much of a leap, like Slack or Gentoo.

The leap to Debian is no smaller than to Slack or Gentoo. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group. Meetings: http://tlug.ss.org TLUG requests: Linux topics, No HTML, wrap text below 80 columns How to UNSUBSCRIBE: http://tlug.ss.org/subscribe.shtml
