Who said compiling? :) Using Debian official Linux packages is a very good option for servers as well as workstations.

Much better than creating the noOSS and noALSA files by hand: - Easier/faster (apt-get install linux-sound-base). - Module list is updated with new releases. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
