New But Debian rocks post-installation!
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Hey...
I'm no Linux God and I managed to get Debian installed. Heck, I now even have it running on an Brand New Compaq S4000XN 2.4ghz Celeron, with a Brookdale chip set.

I did have to build the experimental XFree86, but I'm not complaining because it cost me about $2 in media costs to burn it to CD. Greg, Karsten, Wade, Imric, Rick, scoenye, Peter, etc. are freakin' geniuses! (I know I'm missing someone here.) But, also, I DO make the effort, I don't just sit and whine about not being able to do it. (At least I hope I don't.)

I'm OK too, but I'm more database and more of a technology generalist. If you want to talk Java, C++, middleware, business applications, then I can contribute something. But installing Linux, well, I just muddle through it.
