Debian questions

[cdowns]

The only time you will see a broken dependency ( very rare ) issue in 
Debian is when the package maintainer pulls for either vulnerable or 
patch modification.

r00th4t sucks nuts as far as im concerned. Installing just makes me 
think "oh shit windows is being reborn." basically bloat ware and Gnome 
and KDE suck too.

If the OS has /etc/init.d/rc.d I stay clear.

my rooten 2 cents, can you tell i just came from the east coast :)
