I recently started with a new company and they are using lots of Linux
systems, mostly RedHat and SuSE. We are in the middle of upgrading a
bunch of the machines and I very much want to figure out a way to
present Debian to them as an option. From having used many Linux

While I was replacing my vi with vim, I noticed that there is no /bin/vi
at all, it's in /usr/bin. I've never seen a distro without a /bin/vi;
how do I edit my files when my /usr partition crashes?
Just curious if anyone has some insight into this. I would rather think

some larger package of handy admin utils? If no chkconfig, is there a
package that does something similar?

This happened on a fresh CDROM install of a brand new server with no OS
installed. Potato 2.2r5.
I fixed it by booting up with a win98 boot disk with CDROM support, and
then running D:\install\boot.bat from the CDROM. That worked perfectly.
I'm not really sure what the original CD install was tr
I've installed debian quite a few times and it's not a big deal, but
every once in a while I wish it would just auto-detect my network card,

If you must have windoze as well, it's very simple to make linux boot

I'm not sure how linuxconf works on debian (I actually hadn't used it since
I switched from redhat). I'm still learning about the whole Debian
subculture, but I think the "Debian way" is to just edit the files directly.
As I've begun to do that more I feel like I understand the system a lot
better
You shouldn't have to. My /etc/rcS.d (script files that are run at bootup
even when going into single user mode) looks like this:
README S30procps.shS40networking S55bootmisc.sh
S05keymaps-lct.sh S30setserialS40pump S55urandom
S10checkroot.shS35devpt
I'm not sure how different our 3c905C cards could be, but I installed potato
2.2r2 a few days ago (2.2.18 kernel) and simply loaded the 3c59x module on
install and the interface came up with no problems. Even pump and all
installed correctly without my intervention and grabbed me a DHCP lease.
