Doh! That'll teach me. 3.0 is "Woody." I knew that -- Doh! -- it was
"Testing" the last time I used it (circa 2002).
As such, is "Sarge" considered "3.1" and largely ABI compatible with
"Woody" (GCC, GLibC, Kernel), including Kernel 2.4? Or is "Sarge" more
of a "4.0" release (which is what Xandros refers to it as, 4.0), and
built around kernel 2.6?
I assumed (possibly wrongly) that "Sid" where a lot of kernel 2.6
adoption is taking place? Or, again, is that "Sarge"?
I'm really about 1.5 years outta-date from Debian. That's just sad
because I was on the maintainers list at one time (releasing WLAN
drivers). I just never seem to have left my Red Hat preference.
It's best to know the two most popular "bases" out there, and one is
definitely Debian -- especially with all the Fedora confusion going on.
My apologies if I offended any Debian users, but I'm a major, if only
"closet" at this time, Debian proponent.
