Deluge by far is the fastest (thus making it the best in my opinion) torrent client I've ever used, and I also like it so far.

My only gripe with it is that it causes quite some slowdown on the connection while surfing, but that's not severe enough for me to not call it a trivial matter.

nope i guess. those two uses totally different format of drivers.

drivers for most Linux distro stuff works on the kernel level, meaning it is irrelevant what distro you run on as long as the kernel you have for it works with your stuff - which is why most stuff work in most linux distros out of the box.

you'll have to dig into the kernel to understand how it works and then, separately, understand how OSX's ones work. you can't just be good, you have to be an expert to be able to tell the difference between the ways osx and the linux kernel handles drivers, and translate that into the way OSX's works. if there's no implemented method to properly "translate" that, then you're basically at a moot point until either gets a way for one. VGAs with proprietary drivers are an exception though, but they usually manage to cater to different OS users by writing drivers for every single different OS. like there's drivers for both Windows and Linux, no problem there.

by the way I guess there is no need to port VGA drivers' into os x as I believe most of them are already provided by its respective VGA card makers. i might be wrong based on a recent googling, plus I don't use macs that often even though I have one in office (office property yo), and even then that uses intel graphics not some bombastic ones like ATI and NVIDIA

you can use either depending on your laptop. if you feel you need it to be light you can go for netbook edition.

as for me, I'm using the desktop edition since my work tends to border towards the power-user side.

ubuntu and red hat are both linux.

Egads, Farkinid, you are making that poor guy compile a whole DE?

Considering it's Debian, XFCE should already be available in the repositories...

You can configure Synaptic (should already be in a stock Debian installation I think, else use the apt-get method) to generate a list of files you can download. Here's a quick run-down on how:

As for the apt-get method:



There. Quite tedious, but should be a bit more comfortable than having to download the source tarballs elsewhere, and compile it from scratch.

What about the build dependencies?
