heh yeah... debian barebones was what I would have thought of slackware (tried it 6 years ago lol)

Anyway, then, I could install from floppy disks, and I could choose packages and needed to get them and stuff was annoying.

With this, I decided "expert packages", as I have obviously been using linux all my life Well, start off using FREE-BSD lol

Then the dreaded DOS with its crappy Windows 3.11 (hated it so I just used NT 3.0 lol)

Anyway... have debian installed, Fedora took approximately 14 hours to configure... even for a barebones it still took forever.

I have a 120GB hard drive, I may add another, this is so simple... lol, downloaded net install disk, in LITERALLY 15 MINUTES LATER I HAD DEBIAN CORE INSTALLED AND CONFIGURED... Right now I am adding more packages, also run two of my websites off of the server, so I am getting bind all setup too.

I like webmin mainly because of its service monitoring, and its GUI, can control it easily from my pocketpc

Once this is all set, I look forward in seeing you all on RaGEQuest
