Suddenly, 5 or six hours for an installfest doesn't seem like much time.

I'm not sure if I'd get around to a debian install or not, probably just
stick to one or two and then get a couple questions answered if I could.

One other thought comes to mind, how well is a linksys LNETX ver 4
ethernet card supported in slackware and SuSE, I tried their hardware
databases, but didn't seem to find it. I know that doesn't amount to too
much, just wondering. I also have an old AIMs lab TV tuner/video card on
this box, I had noticed in some old distros that it was at least partially
supported. Good thing as it hasn't worked in windoze since directX version
5, and I hated the idea of just throwing a perfectly good video/TV card
out.
