As a newbie to Linux and Debian I have to say I almost entirely agree
with George, and had even thought about writting something on this

I've got a rank beginner question for y'all: I'm thinking of installing
Debian on a machine I've got that has Winduhs95 on the primary 4.3 gig
drive. I don't want to disturb what I've got there (Windoze is so touchy

drive.

I'm a newbie to Linux and I've run into a problem that I can't figure out.
I'm using my ISP's Debian 1.1 system and mSQL with the JDBC-mSQL driver

succesfully with mSQL tools, but I haven't successfully connected with

Hi,
I saw your questions on the Debian users list and wondered if you were
aware of the java-linux mailing list. That may be a very useful resource
for you. See http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html for more info.
