New Sarge install
Title: Message
Hello
list,
I am new to Linux
and have some questions about a new install of Sarge. I come from FreeBSD
so I do have some familiarity with Unix operating systems (Unix-like in the case
of Linux). I am currently downloading all the ISO's of the "testing"
branch via Jigsaw Download. I believe there is 14 disks in all. The
questions I have are:
The "testing" branch
should give me Sarge correct?
Does Sarge come with
the 2.4 kernel or 2.6? I couldn't get a definitive answer to this question
on the web.
If so, does the
distro provide a fairly painless upgrade path to 2.6, i.e. is there a 2.6
package?
Are there any
"gotchas" with the install that I should be aware of? I am installing a
dual boot with FreeBSD on a Dell Latitude C600 laptop.
Why are there 14
disks in the Sarge distro and only 7 in the Woody distro? What are the
extra disks for?
I have been able to
find some very helpful information via Google with regards to Debian,
installation, packages, etc but the above questions are still lingering.
Your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Thomas
