Hi, Can I get a copy of the Debian Linux, latest release, CDROMs from C-ILUG.
Or else from where can I get one. I only know the sources of RedHat CDs as it is more popular (I think) :) . Kindly help me in finding one. I have heard about the stability of the Debian distribution, but I hadn't get one to try out. regards dino --- "M.Balakrishna Pillai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 10 September 2002 23:40, Dino Cherian K wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Does anybody have any idea about the stability of the latest RedHat > > distibution (RedHat 7.3).
