I think that version 9 is the latest one.. I have a distribution on a CD
included in the last Chip magazine....
Version 8 was installed before without any problems.

It is not my first Linux installation.... The first one was an RH4 (I
think..:-))
.. I just don't like the graphical interface (none of them), but I am a fan
of the console..;-)

I wonder if the Xircom modem can be used with voice too... then I will have
a nice gateway..;-)

Any other reccommendations?

Best regards,
Dan
