Many thanks Melchior,Gerard,Martin and Jon,
Please don't forget I am looking for the Terragear OS option that most
developers are using.
For the FG building side of things I see no reason to change the 4 FG sim
machines away from SUSE 10.3 in the foreseeable future, Also after so many
years with SUSE its the devil I know.
But I guarantee you, from the Etch dvd, Debian plays mpg, avi, mp3 and flv,
the messenger client works, festival is there and VMware installs either any
issue. On SUSE 10.3 none of these work off the dvd, as they did with SUSE9.
Well not on any of the 5 suse machines running here.
Maybe V11 is an improvement and I need to try it next although I normally
stay away from bleeding edge releases. The question is how is it with
Terragear
So till now for Terragear the only confirmed starter mentioned is Slackware
11.0,12.0 and 12.1
