New I actually did 2.6.8 first
...and then fell back to 2.4 after a day's worth of frustration, figuring 2.6 was too bleeding edge for Debian. :)

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it another go in the morning with d-i (="debian installer"? [link|http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/|http://www.debian.or...debian-installer/] I guess. I'm not a sysadmin anymore**). When I did the 2.6 image, I loaded the old config first and *still* had the issue. Guess I won't turn *anything* off this time.



* ignore when I was blathering on before about "PCI". I just got linguistically silly after a while. It's a normal Western Digital IDE.

** Meaning also: this isn't my only project this week. I've also got to roll out a new version of my business app, and crack down on spam (again). Oh, and start on rebuilding the VPN (which will also need 2.6) So how close is Sarge? Is there an ETA?

New If you can't wait for Sarge...
...go for Ubuntu. ([link|http://www.ubuntu.com|http://www.ubuntu.com])

And there's an ETA for Sarge, all right. "When it's ready".

Ubuntu has a six-month release cycle.

New I'll consider it
But Ubuntu seems targeted at a completely different audience. I just want a headless box with rsync, ssh, and huge disks.

New Wrong.
I use it on my server.

There's nothing wrong with a server distro having great hardware detection and a decent installer.

Remember, Ubuntu *is* Debian. You can do what you wish with it and X is not a required component of the installation.
