Hello
Today I installed the latest Debian release, version 6. I was a Debian 5 user when was up to date at the time, then I switched to Ubuntu because it provides updated packages. What I like about Debian is the simplicity: Ubuntu has become to automated. I prefer a clean linux distribution.
I work mostly on remote systems via ssh. I wondered why I have to wait so long for a login prompt and the answer came from an old ubuntu forum [1]. It was the /etc/nsswitch.conf file that had to be modified not to use the avahi multicast dns service. The hosts line should look like this: hosts: files dns.
