   Hello Shawn.

    SB> 48 HOURS? Well is it actually useable? I installed Linux on a 486-DX   
    SB> 50 Mhz and it took 4 Hours to recompile the kernal.   
      
   It was something like that! (This was two months ago). Aptitude and yum    
   updating the system was the most painfull part of the install. I have only    
   been able to get the serial ppp connection running at 19200bps before lots and    
   lots of error's start.   
      
   Useable: Duno yet, so far it's been a learning experiance. I'm not used to the    
   way debian does things. I have really only put debian onto the 'miggy' to give    
   it something todo.   
      
   I tryed compiling the bbs on it, but that failed with lots of gcc compile    
   error's.
