I carry about everything I can find... if you are interested I can hook you
up. You might want to set your fido echos to use Real names most FIDO echos
do not allow aliases.

All major distributions are "good", you can't say in general one is "better" than the other! ;)

If you are a linux newbie have a look at linuxmint. It's based on debian and ubuntu, but with a focus on ease of use.


Bye, Wilfred.

It does not make a lot of difference, as all are quit good.

Ubuntu is more modern and comes with a nicer GUI.

Debian is more stable (ie. older packages) and in my viewpoint geared more towards servers.

Depends ... from my point of view the default Debian GUI is worse.
There is also Kubuntu, Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome.

You do know that Ubuntu is derived from Debian, right?

Sure ... but this does not change the fact that Ubuntu has more emphasis on a "nice" GUI and it has much more recent packages (higher version numbers).

If you wonder what the difference is, you should take Ubuntu
If you know what the difference is, you take Debian.

Who cares about a GUI when the system is headless.

I have not seen that Allen wants to run headless.
Here is his original question
"I want to set up a linux box but not sure what to do once I got it running."
