Essentially, yes. If you d
Ok,
I did have the correct i386 version & the MD5 checked out, there seems
to have been a few bug reports with this message in, but 1) They seem

I've had the "debian on a server, (x)ubuntu on clients" policy for year.
But I have to say my latest brush with Debian Lenny/Sid on a server

They might be worth a try.
Ubuntu 6.06 server is still supported and worth a try, although
