I was just wondering what the status was of gpg and its relation to the debian project. Can new developers user gpg keys instead of pgp keys (it always struck me as a bit odd to have a free distribution scheme that relies so heavily on a program with all the distribution issues as pgp). I was read

I have installed Linux on a different computer several different times, but I just can't seem to get past the initial loading of the kernel at the very begining. As I said earlier, my ThinkPad reboots itself when it tries to load the Kernel. Then it repeats the process over and over again. I
