I'm just about to make the switch to Debian, so if you are looking

yet, but
apt-get is supposed to be a very nice means of installing updates.
I have tried Storm and the main thing that got me was the free version (non-retail) does not have as many packages as true Debian but you could add the Debian mirrors to your sources.list file.
I'll check out out storm tomorrow. A friend has a copy of redhat which I'm going to give a go at tomorrow night.
Assuming that you can run the GeForce chipset (not sure, haven't
used it
myself) you can run two cards with Xfree86 - so long as you have a
spare
monitor ;-) I quite like the idea of running an old 14" screen to
watch logs
in when I am developing code, but I don't have the space for the
extra screen
:-( I saw something on this only the other day, I just can't
remember where...
don't you just wish you could grep magazines sometimes!
Now that is cool, I may have a look at that later on although finding space for a spare monitor will also be a problem for me :-(
I see what you mean, and I have a 7'*7' room which I have to sleep in as well!!!
A quick search on www.google.com with the terms "" returned some
promising results.
Some interesting results, I'll have a closer look when I get more time.
Thanks to every one for replying
