Congratulations and Thanks You to everyone in here ! This is surely the most responsive and helpful list I met so far. Being a Linux user for the last 4 years (mainly RedHat) I was looking for an alternative; and Debian is the first thing to come into mind.
I have now invested some three days, but time is running out. These days have demonstrated that Debian has a great potential and a great package management. On the other hand, for a seasoned user after three days too many items are unresolved: The original ATI Rage 128 never made it to start, the Ensoniq 5880 problem remains unresolved, galeon doesn't use the proxy settings; of course I could fiddle with XFConfig to get the TrueTypeFonts recognised (all documented in this group). For a very standard hardware these are too many. Especially, since another distro doesn't find any problems with these. I simply underestimated the amount of problems encountered for a very standard 3.0r1 / bf24 out of the box on average hardware. I surely will come back another time; with more time to spend ! Now I have to go back to 'production' ! Thanks again, Uwe -- Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? Who knows! Who cares? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
