I'm partial to Debian but I'm obliged to work with RHAT boxes so I sat with a cow-orker as he tried apt on his RHAT box a few days ago and it appears that (at least during the simple test-drive we gave) it worked as reliably as I've ever seen it on a Debian box. This shouldn't have amazed

Does Libranet contain proprietary software? It sounds like it is just Debian with a particular mix of their development branches. If so, the software is all GPL- or OSS-licenced, and can be copied freely. Not necessarily. OpenBSD can be copied freely but the CD layout is copyrighted by Theo

For a QD solution, boot off a CD (knoppix, Redhat, Debian(?)) that gives you a shell or rescue mode, mount the system disks then remove gdm from the startups. On RH xdm is started up by init in /etc/inittab. Debian might do something different. ___
