I wish more books like it would be written and dual-published both for free access on the net (and installation into laptops), as well as in paperback to sell at book stores. It irks me that most articles about Linux will list the commercial distributions, and blatantly fail to mention Debian. It's as if there's a taboo against mentioning it. We need more mentions in significantly technical articles. That will help the distribution gain public favor and respect as a professional quality enterprise grade Linux. > I suggest you download the new beta4 installer: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ The new installer really rocks! It's awesome. I think it works better than either Anaconda or the Windows XP installer. Hint: http://www.sysresccd.org/ has a partition editor on it called QtParted. I don't know if their version is hacked for it or if QtParted supports it out-of-the-box, but this rescue cd can resize a Windows XP NTFS partition with no trouble at all. Don't waste any money on PartitionMagic! -- Karl Hegbloom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
