In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

debian should rename their package repositories from "unstable" "testing" and "stable" to "good" "better" and "damn-solid" respectively.... seems that too many people think unstable is like a gram of plutonium, ready to blow up or something...
i run of unstable on my desktop, it hasnt' given me any problems... i dont see unstable any less stable then gentoo's stable branch. they are both running off of up to date software and such..
as for those optimized kernel patches that the author installed? are those the same patches that some user a few posts ago gave a link to? can't you jsut recompile the kernel with those options? or are those options not available in the 2.4.20 kernel yet....
