   Hey - REMEMBER that !!!  :-)

   MIGHT still have those disks ...

   NOT sure if it had 'X' ... that might have been
   the early early RH I bought a little later. I do
   remember having to tweak a LOT of config files
   and download a lot of drivers just to get 'X'
   to understand I had a mouse and keyboard.

   Ah, the Bad Old Days  :-)

   Therein my gripe with Deb now ... it really really
   smells like they hired a bunch of Canonical rejects.
   Deb was supposed to be The Foundation, solid and
   stolid, no BS, stick with What Works.

   But the LATEST one especially ..... !

   NOW it's not Deb, just another 'Buntu

   I'll stick with previous versions for as long
   as possible. If they don't backtrack and mend
   their ways then it's Fedora or Arch derivs
   forever.
