I don't know of anyone running Debian on a Microtel, but I know a friend who successfully installed SuSE 7.3 on one, so I would assume you should be able to get Debian going. It's worth pointing out the two flaws he found:
1.) The CD-ROM was on cable select, and confused Linux (post-install). He fixed this, AFAIK. 2.) The modem is a winmodem (of course). -Tim On Monday 11 March 2002 06:54 am, Glen Snyder wrote: > Walmart Microtel PCs were recently touted as an alternative for Linux > users, since you can now purchase them at a lower cost without the OS. > My neighbor was asking about them and we checked the web page.
