Depends on what version of Debian you use and what version of suse and the hardware in the box. I.E. If Suse has a later version of XFree86, 4.3.x, to run a new video card you wouldn't find that in official Debian. So it depends. I don't know Suse but I would at least compare the X & video card items. Suse also patches their kernels more? than Debian does. They used to have some drivers (scsi) available that were not available in the Debian kernel. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAMpqJk7rtxKWZzGsRAvU6AJsEPiptwBWZoQF8quU++Y4mPdilRACgm4sF 8BPjTgSm9JGH9UsqCxPjN2g= =uMFj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
