| 540064 | 2007-04-11 06:01:00 | For those who have been waiting for this to happen... Debian Etch has finally knocked Sarge off its perch (www.us.debian.org), and is now officially the stable version. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 540065 | 2007-04-11 09:35:00 | OK, maybe this Etch needs to be scratched. Copyleft, here I come ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 540067 | 2007-04-11 12:03:00 | Well, I ain't gonna download a DVD's worth - with a vodem the *&$@#! usage charges :mad: would make my ISP bill higher than the cost of a much coveted Doominator with Radials and digital strobe tail lights. Easier (and much cheaper) to send some coin to Dunedin.Slower, but wiser. 2 GB a month, cheap as chips. 4.5GB - mortgage broker needed. Don't tell me 1 CD is plenty - plenty is NEVER enough. :lol: |

| 540068 | 2007-04-11 12:38:00 | R2x1: Download the 'businesscard' or 'netinst' iso, they're about 35MB and 150MB respectively. They just download the stuff during the install, so you only download what's actually on the system - not all the useless stuff that you'll never use. Noting you have a vodem, you may need to install it on someone's DSL/Cable connection, as the vodem won't be supported during the installation. |

I only install vital stuff, (or anything I can get wedged in) And ADSL around here is a competitor for semaphore regarding speed achieved ;) And now, I see that my hand has stopped shaking, so it is obviously time for more coffee. |
