grr, ive been using debian for a few years and the other day i had to do
a susie 8.2 install which was very pretty but not very useful. It
annoyed me and took much pursuasion that i didnt actuall wanna use
reiserfs. Debian is very simple to install[i386 -sparc is a very different
story] -just say no to dpkg and no to tasksel and your sorted :)
Once installed, configuration is the interesting bit...
