When my company started       setting up a new L2TP style VPN, they got cooked because Debian 9 didn't have       the network-manager-l2tp stuff yet. Debian 10 did, so they ended up upgrading       to it sooner than later. Even then, new problems arose from that. Sigh..              I think ultimately, I'm going to be moving everything back to Fedora. I just       prefer it, and I see the way they're moving is going to allow for a bit more       flexability in things with their new "modular" repository where you can choose       to use specific versions of software because you're needing it, or because       you're not yet ready to move up just yet, whichever the case may be.              That, and I like being able to maintain some specific packages that I wouldn't       normally find/get for Debian/Xubuntu. Things I've either already made .spec       files for, or can easily. ;)              )))[Psi-Jack -//- Decker]       --- SBBSecho 3.08-Linux        * Origin: Decker's Heaven -//- bbs.deckersheaven.com (1:135/371)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/6 15/2 18/0 103/705 116/116 123/0 25 50 115       SEEN-BY: 123/120 150 755 135/0 300 366 371 377 379 153/7001 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 40 700 203/0 221/0 6 226/17 227/114 201 400 229/275       SEEN-BY: 229/310 354 426 452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 340/800 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3634/0 12 15       SEEN-BY: 3634/24 27 50 119 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 135/371 300 3634/12 154/10 280/464 229/426           |
