November 3, 2003 Hey, everyone... In light of RedHat's lovely announcement (http://www.newsforge.com/software/03/11/03/1657205.shtml?tid=150&tid=2&; tid=82&tid=94), I think now would be a good time for me to try moving away from RedHat for once and trying something new, since I've been using RedHat since v6.2...
Question 1: Any suggestions on good distros to try? I don't really want to go with Mandrake and would probably like to try moving away from .rpm altogether, mostly in an effort to move away from the "easy way" of doing things... I know some people use Gentoo, but I'm not sure I really wanna go that route just yet...and I also don't want to deal with the Windoze-clones like Lycoris or Lindows, either... Question 2: If I were to try installing Debian on my current system, how feasible would this be? I mean, I run a server with my RedHat 9 box and would like to keep the files on it intact...so would it be possible to simply install Debian onto a partition of the current drive structure and try it dual-boot with GRUB, which is already in place? Or even with a boot disc? I just wasn't sure how well RedHat 9 and Debian would play with each other...I don't really want to try installing it only to find out that Debian will try to "take over" and therefore remove my files, etc... ---------------------------------------- Andy Linsenbardt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://andyl.homelinux.net/ "No matter where you go, there you are." -- U.S.S.
