Excited and Yet

I’m considering wiping joey.home.local and doing a Debian 4.0-stable installation instead of Slackware.  Why?

No, I’m asking.

All I know is I’m looking for apt-style maintainability.  Plus, I don’t like messing with default Slackware standards, like Sendmail and Apache 1.x.  Debian wouldn’t give me these problems.

Debian’s default Postfix build uses a chroot jail, so that would have to go (I’m amazed Debian’s default preference goes so adamantly against the preferences of the software’s principal author).

Anyway, I’m thinking it would be a good little project, especially a VMWare mockup.
