I would like to know how to do this. I've been playing with other distros to see which one I like best. The apt-get feature is nice enough that I'm going to switch to Debian just for that. Also, since Familiar and Intimate are based on Debian, I can be consistant when switching from my desktop to my ipaq. Anyway, when messing with apt-get, I had to re-install a few times because apt-get fried the system. Maybe because I put the testing feeds into the sources list... I couldn't boot back up after upgrading and I don't know enough about Linux to know what was wrong or how to fix it. When I get done re-installing my system, I'm sticking with the stable feed. Barry
