Just installed Debian on Big Brain to go along with Windows 2000.... it runs very cleanly, and will allow for more web-tests. I don't have a static address to attach scottobear.com to, but I'll be able to run a little gnu mailman and manage to fool around with the tech side of it when the urge hits me. I've had too many irons in the fire lately, and that's going to change... I've got it worked out now, and I won't feel guilty about not having perfected the thirty-hour day.

since I'm still getting into the swing of things, I'm only using packages considered stable, rather than testing or unstable.

What prompted this? Cleaning up my closet and finding a few of my Machine Man comics. (I suspect that he runs on GNU)

Any reason in particular why you use Debian? Reason I ask is, I am trying to decide which distribution I should go with. I have Mandrake 8.2 on 4 servers now, getting familiar with it, but I have heard quite a few people talking about Debian. An answer from someone whose opinion I trust would be nice!

I went with Debian because I was pointed toward it by a few pals of mine that feel that it's a nice, clean install, and is stable as a rock.

I've heard quite a few good things about Mandrake, too...supposedly an easier interface than some of the others. I figure if you've got that already, I'd stick with it. I figure that most Lin-brands are just about equal, all told... especially if you're playing with x-windows. :)
