I have full Perl and Python environments and I sometimes run CFD, FEM and CAD packages. I think that the key is that I scan debian-dev for warnings and don't try to "track" Unstable by upgrading daily. It's best not to upgrade during the first few weeks after a release. > People with a simple setup (e.g. just a window manager) perhaps won't > even notice anything happened. I don't think "just a window manager" quite describes FVWM. -- John Hasler jhasler@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
