Hi Kent, Before 3 month ago I ask me the equal question; I could not isdn get running under debian, and had no idea to figure out that problem. So I tried redhat 5.1 , I can't install it. the redhat crashed during installation 3 times. So I went back to Debian 2.0 (hamm) and began to stress the german list-members which ISDN-Questions. After a while, I've got them running. The easiest linux I ever used was "suse" after a installation of about 3-4 hours and feeling like a diskjockey (Cd1 cd2 cd 1 cd 3 cd1 cd2, etc,...) the system was configured with isdn, lan, printer, x and all needs I have, but I don't know why. After a period of 6 month I liked to use a new qt packages, however, it was at this time only as source vor suse available. !! It tooks me 4 DAYS to plug it in the system !! under debian the same package was installed after 15 minutes. I will say, if the installation is done, Debian is the finest linux I ever seen, clearly organized and easy to administrate.
wish You Good Look and all the very best Peter
