I have used Slink and now use Potato. As I seem to be getting problems installing KDE on Potato and many people say they are running Woody successfully, I wonder if I shall go to Woody.
Normally, I install from CD but of course there is none for Woody. I've just realised that I don't know what it is that makes Slink Slink, Potato Potato or Woody Woody. How then can I go to Woody and how select what packages to upgrade/install? I have a 56K modem and have to pay line charges. Whilst I don't mind spending a reasonable time downloading, I've no wish to be on line for many hours ( the tarball of a kernel takes 70 - 80 minutes which is quite acceptable). Would someone kindly suggest what options are open to me and which might be expedient. I have a stand-alone box with basic hardware - 500MHz CPU, ide drives, cdrom, floppy, sound and graphics cards and modem. Thanks, John.
