[NMLUG] Re: Ubuntu Anyone?



Yep, that's pretty much where I circled back around to.  The main reason 
I had gone looking for a different distro was because, in the past, a 
minimal windows (no KDE or GNOME) installs resulted in having to get 
packages scattered across 3 CDs.  I was just now pleasantly surprised to 
see that 9.2 will do that install all off of CD1.  Very nice.

The machine I'm looking at setting up is the pseudo-thin client I talked 
about in another post.  These are PII 300-400MHz machines, with older CD 
drives.
