What do you mean by a distro which is bloated? If you want a lean install, do a custom installation and select explicitly which packages you want to be installed. In most cases, a 1 to 1.5GB install suffices for using FC4 as a desktop. For workstations, you might need to install more libraries and development tools which will take more space. I use Kubuntu/Ubuntu too, and for similar requirements of a workstation have had to download a lot of packages to get started. FC4 provides all that on disk, and so does Debian. In my case, in a recent install at one of my clients, FC4 wasnt working very well with the display - switching to text-mode and back to X (Ctrl-Alt-Fn), was causing display corruption. After the first round of updates (which included the kernel and x.org) this problem disappeared. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ Event: Freedel 2005, 17th & 18th September, 2005 - http://freedel.in
