I possibly will return to the
old version of Pan again. I don't see what "thunder" sees in the later
versions of Pan. Linux - always newer and more up to date than Windows

caught on for free.


I think I actually might have preferred Pan previous to the 2006
rewrite, but not enough to pin it. I'm running Debian unstable, and
this is the version that comes with it. It does what I need.



Debian unstable?

Is that an actual name for a linux release?


Yup, Debian does it a little different than most of the other distros.
It has stable, testing, and unstable. One of the bitches about Debian,
is it's slow release cycle, but by the time packages get to stable, they
are well tested. Slow release cycle, but rock solid. Unstable is
bleeding edge, and can break, but I've been using it for years, and have
only had a broken system twice, and it was fixed within a couple of
days. I wouldn't use unstable on a production server, but for home use,
no worries.

:)

I'm running Max OS X, 10.6.1 on my macs, and Windows Server
2003/Hybrid/Windows Home Server on my, you guessed it, Windows Home
Server. OS nomenclature is so coooooooool!

Oh, and under VMWare Fusion 3, I've got Windoze Vista running on my
desktop, and under BootCamp, Windoze Vista on my laptop. Isn't life
exciting? :)


What's Windows? ;-)
