In theory Debian should be the easiest to get working with DECnet  - if you can
run "testing" or "unstable" that is. All you need to do is make sure you are
running a 2.4 kernel and type

# apt-get install dnet-progs

answer a couple of questions and reboot(to set the MAC address).

My interest in this is that I am also the Debian maintainer of the DECnet
packages but that's not a financial one.

Now I'll let the real users of DECnet have their say...
