oopss, i meant r2.2.6 or something like that, the "stable" version of it/*for as much beta software as i run, its still more stable then a windows box*/ i know that woody is on the bleeding edge, but i don't think it would like the pentium 60mhz too much

I'm not sure how Woody would react; that's one of the beauties of the new install, there's 5 (I think) methods to setup, and you can start with the 2.2 kernel- my box could handle the 2.4.xx series, so I opted for the latest version, but I think a minimal install with the 2.2.xx kernel would operate just fine; there is one sticking point; Xwindow- Woody comes with XFree86-4.1, but I think that earlier versions are included and can be setup at install. BTW; most folks don't talk about Debian and "bleeding edge" in the same breath; "bleeding edge" for Debian would be unstable-Sid (Still In Development) and even Sid is tame by other distros criteria; Debians big selling point (other than apt-get) for me is the stability; the developers are down right anal about stability, and it shows. You won't see the latest and greatest available in the package selection until the developers have wrung it out pretty severely, and even then, they'll be patching it for a while; you'll see instances of bug reports about a problem reported by one user, and the Debian Q.C. team takes that as seriously as a thousand users; they want Debian to do exactly what it should and give no users any problems; that's pretty impressive for a bunch of unpaid volunteers, huh?

Here is where we are so far regarding these four criteria: 1-The OS 2-The GUI 3-"Word" analogue 4-Windows emulation method for running the two apps.
The following list gives each participant's choices for these four. Multiple suggestions/votes are ranked in order.Please let me know if I have made any errors regarding the selections that you suggested or their rankings. If I was unsure about a category, I placed a (_?_) in that space.
We may have more people join in before the end of the day on Friday. ALL ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE! I will start setting up the box during the weekend based on your majority decisions if everything is in place.
Please also be considering how you want me to partition hda and hdb.

Sleeping Dog:
Anybody in touch with Tux?
I understand that he may have one dual monitor solution.
Someone else said that they would help with the dual head config. Was that Creedon? I will have to look back.
Here again....this is an experiment in Moving people from Windows to LINUX without them having to buy new software.
I wish that the MESwas involved in this too. He knows about what I have tried to do with these old boxes and why.
