No, but in this case, Debian stable (woody) IS what you want. It's not simply new, but more efficient and quicker for your hardware. With a P200 and 64M of memory, you should be able to run X quite well. The kernel should have no problems with a P200, nor should it have issues with your peripherals. The only time you should not be running stable is when you have an embedded device or something ancient, like a 386 with 2MB of ram. Take the aforementioned tip and install Debian 3.0rX, not 2.X. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
