Incidentally, does anyone else think that the Xserve just oses tech gorgeousness? :) I recently bunged a box in Telehouse Docklands with a group of mates, and when we were picking a box, for an ickle while it was hmmm, dual PIII or an Xserve ... - we settled for a dual PIII running Debian in the end :) My brother installed Debian on his iBook, works okay, I am going to play with it a bit over Christmas, so I can give you a fuller report then. As for running on a PC, I would recommed Debian, but then I am bound to. Debian is indeed the dogs bollocks - I'm having a flamefest with someone I work with which is basically Debian vs RH :) ... I just need to find a way to start porting it to my Dreamcast, since I have NetBSD successfully running :) -- _ __/| ___ ___ __ _ When Microsoft Office is your only hammer, \`O_o' / _ \/ -_) // / __/ _ \ pretty much everything begins to look like =(_ _)=/_//_/\__/\_,_/_/ \___/ a nail.
