Cool, Thanks for the advice, now I just gotta get a new HD.. the one I had in the box got trashed ;( It wasn't unexpected tho, it was getting old.

Well, I AM a "n00b" My first experience with Linux was Red Hat 7 something I think, and I wasn't really convinced at once, and quickly moved to Mandrake. I didn't have 2 computers back then, and running 2 OS's was too much of a hassle, but now that I have 2 it's time to get rocking again! I've been thinking about Debian, but never really tried it. Does it include webmin? Good remote management tools is very important to me, aswell as (shiver) VNC. I need all this because the server will be running without a monitor! ;( This probably means I should learn how to use the shell huh? Now I'll go have a peek at what I can find about Debian, thanks for your help so far

Hello all! I'm going to set up a server to fullfill my networking needs here at home. It will be a http/ftp/sql server mainly, plus a few extras tossed in here and there. (It will run on a 2048/640 ADSL) Here's where you come in, I need to know what you think is the best distro for home server purposes. The only distro I'm comfortable with atm is MDK, and it has the features I need, so naturally I'm leaning towards installing that again. I really like the webmin interface, and the easy configuration.

I don't even get past dialogue box 1 m8... I select a module from the list, almost at random cause i don't know wich module is meant for my card, the module loads, then i get a box. I don't have it right infront of me, so i can't tell you exactly what it says. But i suspect it's something totally un-intelligeble... Anyways.. I've installed RH 9 now, I got bored.. But MAN was that a mistake.. everything slowed down to a grinding halt Guess RH 9 doesn't like my 500Mhz PIII...

yeah i've tried that, doesn't work

When i choose a network card from the module list, it asks me for parameters.. I don't get to choose ip/mask. I'm using a pretty standard pci nic... don't remember the actual name/model atm. I've tried all available installation methods, all with the same result.

Hi! I recently downloaded the bootable Suse 8.2 cd-iso, but i'm having problems installing it. I want to install from a ftp server, and here's where my problem is, i need to load the network driver, i tink i got the network card right, but i have no clue what to do when it asks me for parameters!! If someone could give me a hand i'd be grateful! nZaal
