OT -Other than Yellow Dog ?

[Harvey Ussery]

As I said, I don't yet have X configured, so no, at this point I don't 
have access to a desktop or any other GUI features--and yes, at this 
point I'm working entirely from the command line. However, you can 
configure X on Debian just like on any other Linux distro, and then you 
have access to any GUI tools available--the whole gamut.

Incidentally, I find that--when I get into a jam and have >only< the 
command line to work with--that's when I learn the most about Linux!

Good luck!    --Harvey
