Why switch?

Post #138,894 by orion 1/30/04 3:48:09 PM Reply	Why switch? Actually I want to be able to use both. Get the best of both worlds. I will put in the effort to learn, but my time set aside for learning is limited. If I download Debian, will I get help from here? I am willing to fill out a problem report, if someone sends me a blank one. I am trying to figure out DragonLinux, I did a search on distros and found it interesting. It should be one of the most painless to install due to its nature and simplicity. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

No matter what choice I make, most people here are going to be unhappy. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

Once you are up I can remotely set things up with VNC or even simple telnet access. You get a Linux system, configured by an experienced person, and then you can go to town. The differences in distributions are not important enough for a newbie to be showstoppers. They all have good and bad points. Repeat: send me a detailed hardware report on the target system and we'll get started. You don't have to do anything at all. -drl Edited by deSitter Jan. 30, 2004, 04:00:11 PM EST Expand All History

Also give me some time to get data off the 98SE system before I get ready to format it. For VNC access, I'll need the port number to punch a hole through my DSL router firewall. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

Your ability and willingness to take on a new endeavor cannot be based on whether it will make me happy.
