But, and please forgive my newbie-ignorance :) why do you want him to switch? Surely the fact that he's running SuSE and seems happy with it should be enough? Debian and SuSE are both Linux after all - different flavours of course, but not that far apart. Now if he was running Mandrake, then I

I do not know your computer, but if you have problems booting from the CD, read the manual how to install from floppies. Chainy. El mié, 26-02-2003 a las 18:11, Carlos Taylor escribió: > I'm new and am trying to install debian on a Compaq Deskpro EN PC running a > P-III(733MHz) processor. > > I

FreeS/WAN on PPPOE

Has anyone had similar problems? Out DSL connection is through a PPPOE connect, unfortunately. Although setting up multiple VPNs has generally been no problem, this time for this office it has been a pain. The only reason we can think of now is because this is first time we've dealt with a PPPO
