YES, it's really old... but it works very good... and it's certainly usefull where I have it. I was willing to do a system update (you know, installing new kernel, new GUI, new daemosn like apache, samba, sendmail, php, bugzilla, gforge, etc) But I oticed that my current installation is REALLY broken. The gui won't come up (don't know why... I'm trying to figure it out), samba hangs up every time I try to connect with my windows machine and apache does not start at the startup (even though I put the proper lines in the rc script) Like my subject explains, I want to ask wich distro you consider better (so I download and Install). About the daemons... well, you know I'll get the later versions of everyone (latest stable) and the kernel is a big HUGE issue here... I want a good and new kernel... but If I try to install the 2.5 I'm sure I'll break my instalation, at least once or twice... Thanks a lot. -- Alan Bort Linux Registered User 298277 -Country Manager- [http://counter.li.org] [ http://www.linuxquestions.org ] Username: Ciccio [ http://es.tldp.org ] Ciccio.-
