My reason for moving from RedHat (5.2) to Debian was configurability.
I have a cable modem, and connect to the internet via a DHCP client.
Redhat uses "dhcpcd" for this, as does most of the rest of the linux world.
Hoverver, after going to 2.2.x kernels, dhcpcd 0.70 croaks. I couldn't get
I'm trying to get an FTP client for Linux that is graphical, and
supports bookmarks. Something like gFTP or IglooFTP.
gFTP is *very unstable* and usually segfaults with just about any
operation. I'm using the latest version, 2.0.2, but have noticed
this with all other versions I have ever used.
Hmm, While I agree that dselect could use some functionality to
help users who screw up dependancy's It's far from antiquated.
In fact, as a former RedHat (RPM) user, I can say that the
debian package management system (and it's frony end, dselect)
is very advanced. Keep in mind, dselect is the -s
Actually, According to all of the documentation I've read, Linux
sees all AGP cards a PCI cards anyway, so AGP isn't a problem.
And yes, I use an AGP card (ATI Xpert 98).

Ok, try this:
ide-cd = module
ide-scsi = module
scsi-generic = kernel
scsi-cdrom = kernel
This is from memory...
Now, whichever module (ide-cd or ide-scsi) gets loaded
first will attempt to control *both* drives.
so in you lilo.conf file, add:
append="ide-cd=/dev/hdc ide-scsi=/dev/hdd"
and in
Here's what to do:
Debian comes with a "base" file. Download that, the dhcpcd deb, and the
netbase deb. Install the "base" system, then install net-base, then
dhcpcd. It's a pain, and you'll miss out on the default setups, but it
shouldn't be too bad. Worked for me over a cable modem.

Doug,
There seems to be a mess in the "unstable" branch right now
regarding Perl. They are trying to upgrade Perl 5.004 to 5.005.
Unfortunately, Perl is required by serveral packages, (Netscape, for
example), and there seem to be a bunch of conflicts.
I tried to update Netscape, an
