Funny you should say that. This is one of the few distros that I don't have x-perience with. So I guess that building the new kernel into the latest Deb distro would break the OS, right?

That's something I might try out this evening.

I don't think it will break it. It's just that novices like me don't know how to do that. I like Mandrake because it has the latest stuff built in. I would love to be knowledgeable enough to customize Debian to my needs, but I'm not.

I use debian on my Sparc5. I've also got it to run on old IPXs.

Its the only distro I know of that still supports everything -- Sun, Intel, Mac, Digital. Who knows what else they're working on these days.

Debian also supports the HURD kernel. I might try to get that running one day when I'm bored.
