I find that Debian is closest to any of the above UNIXs. If you know
Debian, you can find your way around any UNIX box.
As far as a registry is concerned, UNIX/Linux does not need it. A registry

Hi Jan,
I'll assume that you have the default gateway setup and a static route to
your local net. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf to insure that you have the entry:

Also, for hosts on the same network, you don't have to specify domain names.

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I built the kernel-source-2.4.17. All seemed well. I had
re-booted a couple times without problems.

To use automount/autofs, you must build the support into your kernel, then

find /etc -name pump\* -print | grep 'pump it'

Yes. Change one of your entries in /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to
unstable, 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get install package_name'. Then change
your edited entry in /etc/apt/sources.list back to stable, and 'apt-get update'.

I wouldn't recommend mixing Ximian's and Debian's versions of Gnome. I found
major dependancy differences between the two. Either work your way through
Ximian's implementation of switch to Debian's, which is what I ended up doing.
Your choice. Good luck.
