Yes, that's just you. Debian is not a contender. its hard to install for newbies, and its hard to administer and it does not have any kind of web based or even graphical/curses integrated administration console. one of the points of setting up this thing (which I forgot to mention) is getting a linux newbie to see how its done and let her play with it a little. I'm not in the habit of hitting her over the head with solid objects. > It's not 2.6 based, unless he replaces the kernel and then he must > provide updated 2.6 kernels whenever there is a security hole in the > kernel. > I'd still suggest Debian but dropping the 2.6 requirement, 2.4.latest > isn't good enough? I want to have the 2.6 available incase I want to use some of its features. I don't see much point in instaling a 2.4 distro as a rule of thumb as the 2.6 kernel is stable and viable solution and offers some important featuers over the 2.4 series. -- Oded ::..
