The SuSE mailing lists are full of "issues" with Y.O.U.
Instabilities, crap performance, whole range of things. SuSE 8.1 has,
alledgedly, renewed the option of the old YAST1 text based install. A trawl
through the archives will reveal a 3rd party text based tool that has the
functionality of YOU. I cant remember the name of it right now. This
apparently works fine with 7.3 and 8.0.

Hello S.L.U.G,

Following up my own posts now. sheesh

Talking of debian, there are a number of things that I'm not sure
about/haven't had time to investigate...

1) What firewall packages are people using

2) Does isdn work ok?

3) Is a stable amavis/sendmail available?  I can only see it in testing not
stable

What are people's thoughts on Debian as a "small business server"? I.e
providing file/print, dial on demand internet access via a proxy
etc...

 Mark
