Thanks for all of the replies describing ways to check for compatibility.

I'll explain why I want to stick with Lenny (2.6.26), at the risk of starting another best-virtual-machine thread. Unfortunately, I need Windows sometimes. I am very happy running XP on VMware Server 1.0.6 under Lenny. VMware is a pain to install but nice thereafter. I don't like the Server 2 interface and don't really have enough time to research or test the many alternatives. I do know that opinions on all of the options are really mixed. For me, though, the laziest path is to live in the past a little longer. (As a Win4Lin alumnus, I know this strategy can't last forever.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
