Really, the only thing that I think is difficult about Debian is perhaps, the initial install. After that, keeping it updated and getting new packages is probably easier than it is with RedHat (but I haven't used yum, so don't know if the frequent problems with RPMs needing another rpm to be installed have been fixed with Yum.) Either one will teach you these things, but both distributions have their own way of doing it, neither of which could really be called traditional Unix. If you're going to go with Debian, you might like my Debian page at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu which explains, among other things, how to get something newer than the 2.2 kernel, etc. :) - -- Scott GPG KeyID EB3467D6 ( 1B848 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: Where have you been pet?
