I agree.
Potato is *really* old as mentioned and you'll feel like you've gone
back in time, IF you want to use a GUI desktop like Gnome.

Ok, NOW I get it, I read the FAQs, but it does not specify how unstable the
thing is.
Thing is that I'm don't have internet access enough to DL a WHOLE
distribution of debian, so I actually bought it on CD.
Thanks!

Hello Everyone!
OK ppl, before we go any further, I did not meant to start a holy war over
this 'stable' issue, my question was if 600 MB was enough for me to install
debian Potato (which is the version I bought) on my laptop, I won't use it
for any type of connection to the 'net nor do I want any

And even when things aren't broken, per se, they may still be quite
uncomfortable. For instance,

Hi *;
I wonder, how to increase the performance in my homenet.
I use orinoco silver cards in combination with apple's airport. On both
cards is the most resent driver version (8.x, I think).
If I copy files between my computers the average speed is at about
215KBit/s.
Shouldnt it be at about 1MB/

Anyone have tips for setting up a laptop for static vs. DHCP?
I've always run static IPs on my home lan. But I'll be using DHCP at
hotels and conferences. I don't have a DHCP server to test with, so I'm
looking for example configs.
I assume the best way is to use LILO and append= to set a flag

Hello,
My networking setup only involes one interface at a time (usually
10baseT Ethernet; sometimes PPP dial-up). For such a setup at least,
the laptop-net package works pretty well. It lets me specify multiple
network configurations, and switches between them by detecting other
machines on the

Have you seen the new D-Link 22Mb/s router/cards? The operate at 22Mb/s using

Try the debian-powerpc lists. They might be able to help you too since
an Apple Airport is in use. I've used a PowerBook with debian and had
link speeds of 1 and 2 Mbps with Airport & Airport BaseStation (at least
thats what iwconfig showed).

Brendan Simon.

The machine worked fine, until I recently did an upgrade from an *old*

oldish beta CD images), this is possibly the newest. Not sure. After the
