Hi,

If you are a Debian-newbie, I'd suggest getting a commercial distro
based on Debian. My suggestion is http://www.libranet.com.

Thanks to the good people in Microsoft, a great deal of the data
that flows is dependent on one company. That is not a healthy
ecosystem. The issue is that creativity gets filtered through the
business plan of one company.

Took your advice - and good advice it was. I noticed the kernel source is in bz2
format so I'm assuming I'll have to unzip that and then ln -s it to linux in order
to install anything. Syntax is still killing me in the shell - all the refs seem to
either have too much info or not nearly enough - I like the Linux Cookbook
but that isn't very practical as a reference - Anyone got a favorite.
Thanks to all for the advice - I'm using it all in one form or another.
