    Wonder if they'll support the possible new kernel modules when they come out?

    Side note: Like this isn't a direct note to BillG.

      I never said it was credible. What I'm amazed at is that MS hasn't taken it away from him/her. If I was MS, I'd take that domain and put a blank html doc in its place.

      And I do think it's rhetorically funny.

    I would suggest using Debian 3.0 Woody (it's currently Testing and soon the new Stable version), the software is much more recent than in 2.2. Potato and everything is easier to install. You may even try Sid the Unstable version if you want the latest and the greatest software and you don't mind having some bugs in some software. I don't know much about Gentoo but it has newer software than Debian, however Debian (especially Stable and Testing) is more stable. I wish you good luck with Debian!

    Is there a direct upgrade path from 2.2 to 3.0? Will it require burning another set of CDs or will apt-get be able to handle the upgrade?
