Re: gnustep debian app developer env setup (help needed)

[Scott Christley]

Hello Elim,

Etch is old.  My suggestion is to move to Lenny.  I'm using Lenny to  
package up some software which relies upon GNUstep, and it seems  
pretty stable.

However, I don't believe that gsweb or sope have been packaged for  
Debian, so you would need to build them from source.

Debian seems the best in my opinion.  Ubuntu is good too as its debian- 
based, and may actually be a better deployment platform with their  
long-term support releases.

cheers
Scott
