I just installed Stormix Linux before work this morning, took around 20-30 minutes. Nice graphical setup tool. Monitor is a snap to set up, just pick it from a list.
Last night I down loaded the ISO image from http://www.stormix.com, took about an hour with DSL. Burnt a CD, booted into Stormix Linux setup, just to see if the CD was ok. Finished prepping and installation this morning. Rebooted into a nice desktop. Added a background image of some pandas and left for work. Previously, I had spent days spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to set up straight Debian. Looked into burning a CD, a bunch of steps plus 2x650 Mbs of disk required. stormix is cool, but it bothers me that it is a commercial package, and the reason I went for Debian is because its totally non-commercial. - greg strockbine On Wed, 16 Aug 2000, mike wrote: > > Stormix is an easy way to get Debian potato up and running on your > computer > with a graphical installer.
