I'm going to be installing linux on an alphastation shortly, and would
like to install debian (which I've used with much success for 2 years now)
instead of redhat, but only hamm - unstable is available. Any comments on
the stability of this? It will be a remote server, so X is not an issue.

It appears that you've downloaded the file xisp_2.1-1.deb with win95 and
ie, which then changed the file name to xisp_2_1-1(1).deb (another ms
