You might also be more interested in one of the BSDs, either Free or Net, one of which aims to run on as wide a variety of hardware as possible, the other to be the most stable and robust, and then there's OpenBSD, which has as its goal to be the most secure. Since you seem to be after running on ancient hardware, I'd try out NetBSD, since it still runs quite well on PDP-era machines and Vaxen ;) -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
