You can install such a thing yourself. Just download the source to debootstrap and install it and you're half way there. I have a production system that is running Debian inside a chroot on Red Hat. The RH system was provided by an ISP and is too awful to actually use except to host the Debian chroot. This works fine. I can ssh directly into the chroot and I barely notice that the RH is even there. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
