The woodie install isn't so hard for someone who knows linux, and the new installer can install your choice of stable/testing/unstable (at least as a net install), so you can use it to install stable (tried it not long ago in the expert mode, quite good). The install is curses based (or curses like, don't know), maybe not as pretty as gui but just as capable. I think debian is the easiest system to maintain if you want security updates short of a commercial option. You won't get 2.6 in stable AFAIK (probably there are backports) but there is 2.4 (even 2.2 if you want ;-). I still think you should go with 2.4 for a firewall at the moment. > > -- > > diego, kde-il translation team > > Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. > See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
