In the 1998 Linux Journal Buyer's guide, there is a matrix comparing the
various distributions. Under Debian, it says that optional paid
commercial support is available, but gives no details.
Have a look at the How do I get support? section in
http://www.debian.org/intro/about.html
And
A commercial company will have a proposal on my desk this weekend
to coordinate the worldwide network of Debian consultants in a single
support organization.
Great news! I've been waiting for the RH Support Partner program to

I have persuaded a co-worker to install Debian on his machine.
However, he has a LS-120 drive (essentially a 120MB capacity
floppy) and no normal floppy drive. I wrote a resc1440.bin

will not work (apparently) with these disk drives.

As far as I know, you can't configure minicom to connect you to the Internet.
Minicom can only be used to test your connection to your ISP, and to see his

I assume you have set the root device for the kernel image on
