<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, I'm just going to post my comments on the Woody
distro here. Hopefully I don't start a flame war or anything, but the
comments are just as a result of what I've experienced first hand. so here
goes. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. When doing a full upgrade from Potato, I get
errors relating to modprobe. I also get unresolved symbols. note
that I really don't use /etc/modules.conf, as I usually just load modules from
scripts. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. After upgrading, Exim is broken.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. At least in in my case, SSL libraries were
broken, so I had to recompile them. Ditto for Lynx. But I was able
to fix this. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Apt installed a lot of packages that were
unecissary. In my case, it downloaded about 150MB of data. It
install GTK and other stuff which is not necissary. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. After upgrading, les complains about an
object error, but still functions fine. Minor annoyance, but I can deal
with it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my opinion, Woody isn't ready for distrobution.
Perhaps this may be unique to my configuration, but their are just too many
unresolved issues. Luckilly, I have a few other Linux boxes still running
Potato hre. Have any of you experienced any of these problems? BC
what I'd do is just assemble the responses, and post a bunch of bug reports to
the Bug Tracking system. if any of you want to e-mail me off-list, feel
free too at <A href="mailto:eheil@rcn.com">eheil@rcn.com</A>.
