taking a couple of older ones, and trying things like Gentoo on them, so I learn more about how things work. As I am not sure what I know, and what distro's like Suse, help make easy for me.
Why Gentoo? It's not even hard to install, if you want something that REALLY makes you work try Detuxx, Linux from Hell. A gentoo fan boy I know decided to try it and gave up.
Simply to make me learn more of the command line, and text functions. Not to give myself a headache.
I also want to expand out the other way, and run x remotely (not vnc).
Just to learn.
By the way, not to take this too off-topic, but I just got the April Linux-Magazine Pro and it includes the DVD for Mandriva One. They had shipped Mandriva 2005 in the middle of last year. I'll take it for a spin, as it is live. -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.
