I'm not a committee member of wlug so I don't know how pertinent my comments are but here goes anyway. Personally I have only used debian but I find there are a lot of supportive people ready and willing to help out with questions, even when I come up with the really *DUMB* newbie type questions. It's gotten to the point now where I am able to answer some simple questions myself. I started with a knoppix based install which I have hacked around with and upgraded to debian sarge, but recently installed a second, linux-only machine (my primary box is dual-boot) from scratch with debian. I still have some teething problems to iron out but it's all good. Just my tupp'nyworth. -- James Pluck ShadoFax Systems +64(21)236 6900 PalmOS Ergo Sum
