That's why I chose Slink. potato is currently in 'frozen' state, there is no 'BETA' state in Debian. What ware you afraid of WRT stability? I've been using potato for about a year and haven't had major problems with it, can't remember any real problem in the last few months. > APUS 2.2.10, exactly what is the name of the file? > I *think* I already have it, hmm.. ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/apus/2.2.x/vmapus-2000.03.10.gz You also need ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/apus/boothack/bh000311.lha > When it comes to the "Slink" version, is it possible for me to get a better > kernel than: 2.0.36 somewhere? (for the m68k of course) ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.2/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz or ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.3/linux-2.3.47.tar.gz (but as you're concerned about stability... :) You'll have to build the kernel yourself. Maybe you could also take a kernel-package from potato, don't know about the dependencies. > It's not possible to use the APUS-kernel with the Slink distribution, > right? Maybe a stupid question but I haveto know ;). You mean with the one you have? No. PPC and m68k aren't binary compatible.
