Progress with Debian Linux

Debian Linux 5 seems to be happy on the IBM T21 Thinkpad. I installed it with the "web server" configuration, so there is no GUI desktop. Linux runs in "plain text" mode, with a simple terminal console and no graphics except for what can be displayed with ncurses.

The web server is working and I used the 'aptitude' package to install the PHP modules. Next I will copy over my web site files from //grendel and try them first with just PHP and then with PHP inside Apache.
