Yes, you should have a separate partition for Debian. But, with the low cost
of drives it is more economic to install another drive rather than waste
your time dividing up the one you have. Maybe you already have a smaller
drive laying about (2GB is nice) that has nothing to do anyway.
Yes, Debian

yup i followed the instructions, installed all build deps, that wasn't

I'm having this odd ball problem where ssh refuses to read the host keys and it

Does anyone have a clue about this?

Does anyone know of a good website that teaches and gives good examples for

but only about 5 pages worth and only gives extreme basics
I've had Debian on my Portege 3025 for nearly two years. The initial
install was a bit rough because it wouldn't boot from Slink boot disks. I
had to use loadlin from a WinDOS98 partition. The Potato boot disks seem to
work fine, at least on this machine.

Well first of all IMHO most of the defaults make sense.
The problem here is you trade off power for ease of use. And I
have yet to see a really good way around this. Maybe the best
way would be to make "levels" of install like RH has. Novice-Deity
