[vox] Ponder, ponder... perhaps a silly notion

["Richard S. Crawford" <rscrawfoMAPSrd@mossroot.com>]

The kind folks at Red Hat have informed me that the reason for the mess up 
with my rpm database seems to be a bug on the RH8.0 installation media.

I dunno, seems like a good enough reason to switch distros to me.  What do 
you all think?

I've heard many good things about Debian, but I've also heard that 
installing it is not for the faint of heart -- and when it comes to 
installing OS's, I am among the faintest (I get queasy at the thought of 
upgrading from Win98 to Win98SE).  I'd also like to keep Ximian Evolution 
on my system, and Evolution does not appear to be available for that platform.

The main thing is, I'd like to keep as much of my current configuration as 
possible... my home directory, and so on.  Is it even possible to do this?

Hm, perhaps everything will look better tomorrow morning after I've had a 
chance to sleep and call Red Hat's customer service line and curse them out 
for a bit.




Sliante,
Richard S. Crawford
