Don't just update to 2.2r2, get woody. It is really nice, and spiffy. All up to date. If you don't mind having to live through the wicked update(when I did mine, they updated the package listing 4 times, dpkg broke(it's fixed now), and it had to reboot twice). But, perl 5.6 is now broken, and you have to link /usr/bin/perl5.6 to /usr/bin/perl ... after you get used to littel things like that, it is fine. Of course, if you like stability...and who really cares about that? Plus, things like kernel 2.4test12 and XF 4 work better with woody. --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

hmm, might do that after i get dns workin again. damn i hate networking!!!! i got it all installed, but i think suse 6.4 was faster, and its at least twice as big. If it wasnt for the fact that debian doesnt have a gui web browser (even though i hate netscape) and the seeminlgy neverending install!! it wouldnt be that bad... Im back on windows at the moment because of the dns prob, but ill fix that shortly. also, sorry to ask, but anyone have any idea why when in windows, my moms pc, and mine dont find eachother, but when i boot into linux, i can ping her box? I would really, really like to know, its buggin the fricken hell outa me. as for the updating to woody, doenst sound too bad, how far along is it on the devel tree? --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

No GUI browser. Except for mozilla. M13. apt-get install mozilla. It'll install it from the disc. Networking thing: No fscking clue. Windows is just like that woody: Its probably another 3 months to a year from being frozen. of course, always staying with unstable is more fun. If you do upgrade to woody, then you can grab M18, and skipstone(its like galeon - the memory leaks). I highly recommend it. Besides, there are more packages in woody(6000+ now). --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

damn, well, i might do that, not sure. i kinda want a stable system right now, so ill wait on the total insanity!!! also, do you have a nic and stuff set up, cause i figured out what my prob is, i need a gateway, but i dont have any in /etc/gateway, and i cant find any of those nifty config tools. so, give me an example and ill adapt it. basically i need this machine to be the gateway (192.168.100.2) --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.
