if you take advice, that's a whole 'nother story. before you download
anything else, explore woody, one of the all-time best stable releases
of debian. take the time to describe what you want to achieve, and don't
get put off by the occasional caustic response from the list. the best
people here give straight answers, although sometimes it might seem a
tad cryptic. you're already on the road. think about the questions,
search the archives for answers. by then, if you haven't found the
solution, you'll at least have found the question.
