That will get him a Ubuntu system, not a Debian system. As much as Ubuntu is "based" on Debian, you are limited to Ubuntu's world and can't practically install packages from Debian. I don't want to start a "ubuntu is a fork" war, and maybe things have changed since I got my experience with it, but once I had Ubuntu 5.04 on my machine I couldn't get all the Debian packages on it and went back to Debian. --A -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
