I read your distribution page about Linux. A few points about Debian; yes, there are six floppies but you can boot off the official 1.3 CD now if your system supports it and I believe there are other floppy-less or floppy-fewer solutions. Yes, the dselect interface isn't too good, but there's a new interface (to dpkg) planned for the next major Debian release.
Re: installation being bad news from CD-ROM drive, I've installed it about five times now and never had any problem, except with an old SoundBlaster-type CD-ROM drive; I just did an NFS install off another machine instead. I never found it to be any worse than Slackware, which I've also used in the past. regards, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student, computer science & computer systems engineering. 3rd year, RMIT. http://hamish.home.ml.org/ (PGP key here) CPOM: [**** ] 49% The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. --Bohr -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
