I am very impressed with my findings with Debian Etch 4.0, and I only burned
the install CD this morning!
As it turned out, with Etch I need to boot with kernel option acpi=off on my trusty
ThinkPad 600E "mobile server". I was impressed that the resulting lilo.conf
reflected that option.
Ubuntu Server 7.04 was out ahead of Debian Etch... it on the same system does not display the login prompt on the console when it finishes booting, and I checked dselect and Samba is no where to be
found! So, Ubuntu might have newer / slicker code, but Debian "just plain works".
Once again, Debian gets my vote.
Thanks for all the hard work!
