Re: New Debian user
H Neils,
FYI, the Debian list has a custom of bottom posting so that a
conversatio flows (see the mail list info on the web site). I've
altered your reply thus:

Of course you can mount the other drive. Just be careful where you
mount it. Personally, I would suggest something like
/var/local/media (var since its variable data, local since its your
own). I'd be interested to hear where wiser people would suggest. Read
the policy manual and FHS to learn more about this.
If you trust the router's firewall then by all means go with Etch.
Good luck,
Doug.
