Okay, I know that it sounds like a lot, but the only machines that get use are, oddly enough that old P1 200 I have left from college, which I'm typing this on. 64Megs of RAM and a 15 inch monitor baby! and the laptop... The fastest machine in the house is more or less reserved for network games. Honestly Isa, when the money thing eases back a bit, pick up a P1 for $50 and have a play-crate. Kernel compiles take somewhere on the order of 15-18 minutes. That's brief enough so as to still be fun.
Dave, how about trying one of the BSDs? I downloaded it for kicks really. This ISO thing gets kind of addictive after a while. When I first put it on a laptop I couldn't really get PCMCIA to work, and I had a lot of other toys to play with, so I gave up too quickly. Other than that I have a lot of good things to say about Debian... if you like installing everything after you've installed everything.
Cheers,
Finegan
