Re: Debian on a Walmart Microtel???
I don't know of anyone running Debian on a Microtel, but I know a friend who
successfully installed SuSE 7.3 on one, so I would assume you should be able
to get Debian going. It's worth pointing out the two flaws he found:
1.) The CD-ROM was on cable select, and confused Linux (post-install). He
fixed this, AFAIK.
2.) The modem is a winmodem (of course).
