Just before
If when you log into Debian you go to eeh console mode
instead of xdm, the last line that you see before the
prompt is which version of Debian your running.

IIRC the debian version number is part of the name of the isos. But you can
also just try
cat /etc/debian_version
2.2 ==> potato
woody _will_ be 3.0 when it's stable. Dunno

Hi!
I'm using applixware 4 on a Debian Potato system. I have an old Pentium
100 with 64Mb RAM only. It looks fine, can read files coming from MS
office, and very fast. It takes only few seconds to startup om my machine.
So I don't know any good reason to upgrade it, or change it to another
office
Aplixware 5.0 runs well for me under Potato. No problems at all with the
installation.

A friend of mine runs Applixware 4.4.1 on his Debian system (mixture of

Is there any chance apt is going to get a little smarter about upgrade space
usage, or is that one of those things I'll have to do myself to get?

Which bodes the greater likelihood of a successful upgrade: Frozen,
