re my earlier mail,
It was recommended to me by a friend that I perhaps opt for a different
distribution.
What I want
fast,functional,no GUI,compact
I want - in this process of setting up a server - to learn the way it's done
properly, I dont want to have to go through layers of apps etc, I want to do
it at it's most basic level. I want to wade through howto's and sit hours &
hours figuring it all out. I don't want it all done for me. But most
important, is I want it too be stable, once set up ( _If_ I do it correctly
;-) ).
If I crash my machine while trying, so what.
I'm fairly confident that I know DOS backwards due to this manner of
teaching myself, and I was one of the only people I knew who still used DOS
at home even after the release of win98.
*ehe*
I know there's another thread atm along these lines, but I've given ( I
think) more specific info as to what I'm looking for :
with that info, can someone recommend a distribution :)
He recommended as a fast/small distro I try Stampede linux ( am I the only
one who's never heard of this one ? )
<OT start>
--PART 2-- (the saga continues) ---
A friend of mine was given an old a 486 server box, and is also trying to
set up something similar to mine but cannot get the machine working. It has
on it an LCD display of error codes, as opposed to the crypting beeps ;) -->
Does anyone know where He can get hold of the 486 error codes ?
</OT end>
TIA (again)
Clive
