Not really sure if this is in the right place but here goes anyway.
Does anyone know of a website where I can buy a copy of Debian (downloaded, just paying for the price of the disk & postage)
or would any Hexites lend a favour to someone with 56k and download a copy of Debain and post it to me (i'd pay postage, PM me if you would be kind enough )?
Thanks
PM me your addy, with the URL of the image you want on CD and ill pop it in the post to you.
Will probably be sunday/monday though.

Just sent me a PM to agent.
I'm just gonna mess around with Linux, annoy my sister with it aswell (she is always claiming "Linux is krap, it never works and they get more viruses than Windows!"
I'm out to prove her wrong really
you'd want Sarge, ideally, which is getting released properly in just over a month
i suggested just downloading the net installer tbh, as you wont get far installing woody in any form, and if you cant download 110mb of net installer your gona have to wait for packages along time ;x

I'm following your guide on how to set up Linux, so i'm using the Test version, don't wanna use Sarge (thats the unstable version yeah?) as this is my first forray into Linux.
Sarge is the test version, Sid is the "unstable" version, if I remember rightly.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
Ahh yeah, I just re read hexeh's article, st00pid me
If ya need some help let us know
Just gone threw the install of Debian on the main rig
Do you need all 7 discs of the Debian set? FilePlanet have 7 discs in total to download!!
the discs for debian contain packages, from most to least popular. cd1 will contain basic things like xfree86 that most people want, the last cd will contain rarely used things like umodpack.
sarge is currently anticipated to be 14 cds, per platform (e.g. 14 for i386, 14 for itanium)
you only need the first cd, infact you only NEED a 50mb net-install cd - the rest of the data is downloaded as & when it's needed
sarge RC1 has just been released - as a 13cd set, or net-install cd. http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
mmm damit only just put it on and they have anew version out.......
