Etch

Etch is almost 2 years old! SATA support began in the 2.5 kernels and some modules were backported to 2.4. There have been many huge changes in the 2.6 kernel to date, so Etch should be the one to use. Kernels 2.6.16 to 2.6.18 seem fine, 2.6.19 is buggy, never tried .20 - .21 is in the works.

Asterisk and MP3 files

Asterisk should have mp3 files for playing music on hold. The debian distribution doesn't appear to have these in it. Is there another package which does hold them? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe

Hi list My system is debian testing (etch) AMD64x2 I have bought a new video card Nvidia 6200 TC 64 bit 256MB DDR2, which should be better than my ATI Radeon X700se, according to several forums, for 3D composite rendering. Now after what I've read about this, on this list, it should be sufficien
