If it's the same book I looked at not long back, it comes with Debian Potato on the back cover. That's about 17.6 million years old in Linux terms. So no, that's probably not a good way to go. > As a follow up, if I get a "regular" debian, will I eventually be able > to make my own bootable debian CD with my selections of software? Or > is this a capability that only knoppix has? Sure you can. I don't actually know how to do it, come to think of it, but it's certainly possible. That's how KNOPPIX does it after all. One thing about Debian (and Linux more generally) is that we have tools out the wazoo to do things that Windows users have to pay a lot of money for. They're not always the most intuitive or easy to use tools, but they're bristling with useful gadgets. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
