Hmm...Question #1: What would be the recommended way of installing Debian? I have cable Internet access, and I have the "Potato" version of Debian on seven CD's (don't really know what's on all the extra ones, hoped to find out soon!) There is a page for a package release (I was checking on the SuSE site to see how they got the ATI Rage 128 card to work) and it is based on the XFREE86 release 3.3.6. The Debian package release is for a non-free X server: http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xserver-rage128.html Question #2: Since you CAN download this package set from this page; what makes it "non-free"? Simply that it is not "open-source"? Thanks in advance, --mVIIs
