Debian really isn't that bad to install, and better to my tastes, anyway.
And Woody has a good installer as SuSE/Mandrake - and it doesn't try to be
*user-friendly*.  And from personal experience: much nicer to use than
Mandrake/SuSE.  No, I'm not flaming - I just think that Debian has a
reputation that is undeserved. Reading between her lines - Ruth, I
*think* would be fine running Woody.

But, of course this is very easy for me to send: I'm back in London
Hurrah!!! :))) I'm not gonna install it on her box.

Toodle pip,

Harvey
