We are making a lot of noise about our desktop support, and certainly the default install from the CD is a complete desktop/laptop distribution... However, if you type 'custom' at the install boot prompt, you'll get a nice, complete UNIXy base system with all the stuff you'd expect, diagnostic tools, etc. Our base includes things that would be appropriate on both a server and a desktop. On top of the base, you can install a wide array of supported FOSS server apps, and pretty much anything from Debian if you choose to use the unsupported 'universe' selection. So, we're talking about desktop a lot, but we're 100% supporting servers. :) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "The Motif interface, with chunkier controls, felt more like a ghetto blaster." - Liam Quin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
