I moved from RH over to Debian. I did not ask questions on the lists, nor did I enter the chat rooms. Books, man pages, HOWTO's and dedication. Even moving from RH to Debian, I reinstalled Debian *several* times to get it just right (where I felt comfortable). I stayed away from any "automation" config tools (that I could) beyond debian install packages. Listed all problems and what needed to be set up as I found them! :) I don't know squat (yet?), but I do know how to fix what I have learned without a config tool! My advice: DIG IN! You will learn nothing if you don't insert a CD! Have FUN! These guys are a great bunch, it's only my mistake I didn't post here earlier, but I'm stubborn at times. ;) Mark Hurley
