Debian 1.2 has a couple of bugs -- he can do an ftp upgrade or wait for a CD with 1.2.5 to get here. I dunno about RH's policies, but with Debian there are packages that are not included in the CD, due to copyright restrictions. You can get them via ftp, though. I could add more items to the list... > I would suggest 16MB of ram. Personally I have 32MB and it runs like > a dream. I would suggest as much RAM as he can afford. :) -- Dimitri emaziuk @ curtin.edu.au ----------------------- What color is a chameleon on a mirror? ( Zen koan )
