Does the BRLUG have a copy of Libranet that's able to be copied freely? I just assumed that if one was required to purchase software that usually means that making copies was off limits. Regardless I would like to get a copy. I would like to check it out. I've been using RH 7.3 on my workstation at work for several months now. I get my work done and things seem to work very well. The uptime has been a lot better than my Win2K workstation used to do.
At home i've installed MDK9 and RH8 along with my Win2k pro install. I seem to boot into MDK9 more than RH8. I still haven't committed one or the other yet. I like to have the options!!! I wish I would have thought about leaving a FAT32 partition on the drive. That would be cool to be able to share both ways. I can only read from the 2K part now. I thought that I would try some of the other more popular distros and OS versions. I would at least like to have a little background different versions. When I get my new motherboard I bought off ebay I'm going to setup a FreeBSD firewall. Should be an interesting project. We scratched our Debian install today in favor of trying SUSE8.1. SUSE looks very nice. They put a lot of work into the GUI. I'm not sure about it's stability but I think SUSE is well thought out. We'll try the Debian again one day. I have the cds burnt now so maybe the ftp install we did is where we got the gdm error. i'll stop rambling now... later -- Brad Bendily - CNA On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, Doug Riddle wrote: > Debian 2.x = stable.
