List of 6600 packages on Debian Sarge
Hi
I am currently running Mandrake 10.1 CE. ANd have it pretty much well configured for almost everything. But I heard of debian and recently received a debian sarge dvd. I am interested in trying debian ( what with the distro fever and stuff) but need to know what packages would be installed by default. How can I know (there are some 6600 !) Also I have mozilla messenger (something like thunderbird) with a whole lot of mails and don't want to lose them because of the transfer. So what do I do for this. Thirdly : I have always had difficulty playing videos (DVD's , VCD's etc) are debian's default packages good enough or will I have to download stuff and compile. Lastly - how do I know if my Mandrake is set up for dual boot and what do I need to do to make it dual boot. I know that the hd will need to be partitioned so what do I use in Mandrake to do and then what next steps. thanks bamboo :newbie: |

The following quote is direct from the html on the install CD #1 of the CD-ROM version of Debian 3.1 (Sarge): Quote:
Where did you get the idea that it's just 6,600 packages? |

The quote on it says "Debian Sarge, including 6616 packages. Will autoboot and install of the dvd". anyway the reality of the packages will be in its use. An heard that debian is one of the tougher linux's to use is that true regards bamoo |
