Hey there, So I'll install Debian 2.1, then go-line and do apt get-update or whatever it is. What should I expect to get? I see GNOME 0.30 is in stable, i obviously need something newer (and stabler) than that, same with E0.14, Apache, PHP3, etc. Or do I have to wade into unstable and watch my phone bill go into outer space?

Sit on frozen - it's not far from becoming the new stable. It will be a painful first upgrade tho! Your /etc/apt/sources.list may want to look like: deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian frozen non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free ( if you're a KDE fan, you could add: deb ftp://ftp.uni-marburg.de/mirror/debian-kde.tdyc.com potato kde contrib kde2 deb ftp://ftp.uni-marburg.de/mirror/debian-kde.tdyc.com slink kde contrib kde2 ) Andrew. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.Savory at uea.ac.uk All views are my own - who else would want them? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Yeah, everyone says, "not far". Even me :) I thought it was another six weeks away at best?

Somewhere between six weeks and a month at the moment, I suspect.
It will be a painful first upgrade tho! From what? 2.1 -> 2.2, or 2.1 to current updates via phone?
Going from your current stable to the new stable will take about ten hours, I would imagine.

And GNOME?
Gnome is in the main debian archive, because it's GPL (KDE has up until recently had some major licencing issues meaning that debian have been unwilling to include it for fear of 'bad things happening'.
