Post #149,015 by Another Scott 3/27/04 8:23:14 PM Reply	I think you know the answers... Greg and Peter would recommend Debian. I'm having good luck with Xandros Deluxe v2 (which is Debian-based), but I'm a complete newbie and it may not be a good distribution for a guru such as yourself. But you really should be able to update 7.1 to whatever form you need (maybe not easily as I'm sure RH would prefer that you upgrade to Fedora), so as you say it really shouldn't matter. I'm glad you're getting it figured out. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.

Neither one actually installed anything - PGI errored out every time. The other one claimed to be reinitializing the hard disk, installin stuff blah blah blah. Then on reboot RH 7.1 boots up anyhow. And what is this sid, sarge, potato, woody shit? How the FUCK am I supposed to know one from another? Put descriptive names and numbers on stuff fer cryin out loud.

Post #149,155 by folkert 3/28/04 9:47:22 PM Reply	Okay. Debian has basically 3 current branches Stable == (Currently called Woody)Stable package list and versions. Sometimes people say Stable == Old. Really it means that Stable means just that Few changes barring Security or Major Data Loss bugs. Basically in Maintenance mode. Testing == Next version of Stable (currently called Sarge), Supposed to always be in an installable state (not always the case) Package list can be very volatile. But can become very stable at other times. Currently this testing is is shooting for a frozen Around Middle of April. Also, testing has versions of the software some would condsider very good and recent. Unstable == Unstable. Unstable as the packages are in a constant state of flux. On a a long 4 day weekend, Monday can have as many as as many as 500 packages updated. But, when you understand that something like Postgres in Debian is split into something like 11 packages, versus typically 2 for RedHat or SuSE or Mandrake. Unstable is where there is the latest and greatest software typically. I would also call this the branch for those who understand the Debian dpkg/dselect/apt systems. Okay, so I lied, there is actually 4 branches. Experimental == Major packaging changes, experimental versions of the package versions of things that would not build properly automatically, etc... basically pre-bleeding edge. This is not an "instabllable" branch. You have to include it along with piece from Sid or Sarge. and On the Naming etc... Potato == Debian version 2.2 No longer being Maintained Former Stable. DO NOT USE THIS ONE. Woody == Debian version 3.0 Being Maintained as Stable Sarge == Debian v3.1(or 4.0) or the Next Version of Stable still in a State of Flux Sid == Debian Unstable (will always be too), unstable terms packages are unstable, rapid versioning not unstable as in crashing... alothough this is bound to happen with rapid versioning. (____) == Experimental doesn;t have a named version. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* 'In view of the fact that Microsoft is a condemned monopolist and on the other hand the internal messages and financial transactions of SCO look ever doubtful, Microsoft should be really anxious that to the own company something does not remain sticking from the Gestank of the SCO.' --Plagarized from [link\|http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040322133607169\|GROKLAW]

Post #151,251 by a6l6e6x 4/15/04 12:04:01 PM Reply	They may rock for you, but both failed here. I tried it on a rather old box my niece was going to throw out. 233 MHz Pentium, 64 MB Ram, 8 GB Maxtor disk. During the "Installing the Debian base system" phase: `No installable kernel found No installable kernel was found in the defined APT Sources The kernel default package is 'kernel-image-2.4.25-1.386' You may try to continue though this rather strange error is probably fatal` Continuing restarts the "Installing the Debian base system" phase, i.e. puts you into an endless loop. Since this is a network install, I was pleased to see that it figured out that the Tulip driver was needed for the NIC. That's an improvement over the Woody CD-ROM install.
