Thanks all for the tips. I couldn't wait for my distribution to arrive so I've borrowed a copy of Debian ver 1.3 It is a slightly limited copy from a trilinux CD with all 3 major disributions on 1 disk but should keep me happy untill my ver 1.3.1 arrives.
I believe that the difference from ver 1.3 to 1.3.1 is basically the inclusion of Xfree86 3.3 The install went smoothly and I only had to bite my lip a few times when I got to the "dselect" part of the install, but the great thing is, I can run it many times and I dont' have to be in X to browse my available packages. Not sure how I should have gone about setting up LILO because the install process wouldn't let me put lilo on the MBR of my first IDE. (I installed debian on /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3) I modified a lilo.conf that I had saved on a DOS partition and it worked out OK What I did like is the /etc/X11/window-managers file which rather easily lets me specify the default window manager. > So, which of the versions of Unix comes closest to resembling Linux from > Debian? > > I've been using Redhat for a while but I expect the layout of files will > be different. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
