  • Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.

    Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.


  • Can you expand on this a little for a new guy who is considering a switch from Mint to Debian?

    In my understanding Firefox ESR is like a stable, longstanding version that doesn’t get frequent little updates but still gets occasional large updates. (Like 1.0, 1.1, etc. rather than 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc.)

    Is there a measurable difference in the user experience and or security of ESR?

    And is Debian actually restricted to ESR?






  • Because the teacher is wrong and it’s an idiotic question.

    The question asks the child to explain how Marty ate more pizza than Luis. “He didn’t” is not an appropriate answer to that question.

    We know that Marty and Louis didn’t eat from the same pizza, because Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. We also know that Marty did eat more, because it’s right there in the question.

    The only logical answer is that Marty’s pizza is bigger, and so 4/6 of his pizza amounts to more pizza than 5/6 of Luis’s smaller pizza.

    The question should have been “Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. Explain who ate more pizza.”
