My main experience is installing and configuring Windows NT (not my choice). I am trying to get up to speed with Linux to have an alternative to NT.
I am at the bottom of the learning curve and feel overwhelmed. I was encouraged by the way Debian has packages. I have become somewhat disheartened by things not going as smoothly as I expected. Is there a single document that has an overview of Debian and how to know if a package will work with the kernel that you have? I got some feedback on the LINUX-ATALK list regarding my problem with AppleTalk on the Debian 1.3 release. I was pointed to the kernel compile option. I checked the '/usr/src/linux/.config' and found that it was 'CONFIG_ATALK=m'. What is the debian netatalk package expecting? Do I need to recompile the kernel? Is there a atalk.o module around somewhere? Help! I want to get rid of NT quickly and (hopefully) easily. MUCH thanks!
