- Well, yes, I didn't expect a perfect system and indeed wanted
- to learn more about unix instead of just using it.
-
- However if we want linux to have a future (with sun solaris
- coming to 386 computers in march), then linux should already
- have quite a good distribution by this time. Currently for
- newcomers it's really difficult to set everything up.
-
- At least there should no vital files be missing in the
- standard distributions and dangerous files (fstab, lilo/map,
- mtab) not be there twice on different disks.
-
- If I have some time when I have linux running with tcpip,
- I will possibly write a short introduction how to install it
- with the currently available packages. What to do and what
- not to do. I don't know yet if I will find time for it but
- I will try very hard.
