Knoppix and the likes have many issues as a distro. Beginning with the fact that they don't really provide security updates, as they are a mish-mash of Debian branches, with their own custom kernel. If you like Debian, try Sarge's new installer. One bug in it: if yoou select "Hebrew" as your language then sometime immidiestly after the end of the installation run: echo he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8 >>/etc/locale.gen locale-gen > > http://www.linux-kinneret.org/index.html > http://kazit.berlios.de/index.html > http://www.mpthrill.com/peanut/ > http://ehad.berlios.de/ > > If only word-processing and spreadsheets are really essential, then > anything which will run OOo should suffice. Hebrew file names should be handled properly. UTF-8 recommended. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
