Hi, all. I am a more or less experienced debian user, and I want to share this with you; I went through a few "minor" problems, when I recently decided that I had scr*wed up my system(Potato) and it was time for a reinstall. I reinstalled from a set of Slink CDs, and proceeded to do an apt-get upd

Hi Mark, You're right, I'm spoiled with inexpensive net access. I didn't realize that companies were offering ftp mirror snapshots on CD across the pond because of the high price of connectivity to download files. I've been working for telecommunication companies for almost the last 10 years, s
