Yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian but provides more user friendliness for Linux newbies. There's also a large, very active forum.
Regarding hibernation, it has more to do with your BIOS. However if you found Debian and the command-line hard don't go for the server edition, since it will be just a command-line as well. Install the standard edition. Once you get everything running to your satisfaction, shut it down, unplug the monitor and start it back up. Without a monitor plugged in, it will shut off the GUI which will save a fair amount of resources (CPU, memory). If everything works without a GUI, just leave it alone. You can get in using SSH and the command-line, say with a client like PuTTY. If you're not comfortable with that, simply plug in a monitor again. It'll start up the GUI in a minimal mode, to get it back to full resolution just reboot it using the GUI. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61444 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
