Mandrake is decent... if you like everything and the kitchen sink installed. One of the reasons I really like Debian is the base install is around 50 megs and you can choose what to install very specifically. I personally cancel out of the dselect it tosses you into install and apt-get install things as I need them. Works great. I'm currently serving about 100 megs of stuff (Mac archive, in fact) on a 250 meg HD with Debian on a Quadra 605. With space left over. I'm also running telnet and ftp on the same machine for internal admin. I don't think you can even install Mandrake in 250 megs :) Scott Holder -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:max-list@;mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:max-list-off@;mail.maclaunch.com> For digest mode, email: <mailto:max-list-digest@;mail.maclaunch.com> Subscription questions: <mailto:listmom@;lowendmac.com> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
