Thanks Ben, you've just opened a can of worms. Somehow I get the feeling that Ben won't be getting a lot of support in the future. At least not from you or me. A real good test to see what one's distribution is: cat /etc/apt/sources.list If you don't see the word debian there, and the site you're using isn't listed on the official Debian mirrors (http://www.debian.org/mirror/official), then you're not running Debian.
