Everything works and you get all the other advantages of Debian too. No need to get the tatoo removed.
If you doing a server you should just do the netinstall using the first disk of the ISO set. I used wget -c and find the best performing mirror to get the first .iso image. You'll need broadband for the netinstall. If you load Knoppix to HDD you'll need to do: apt-get update apt-get -u upgrade sometime soon after getting things running. Having a broadband connection is good for that too. -- Mike -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
