But one of the questions I've asked repeatedly has yet to be answered: > Should we move to a faster processor with more RAM, and should we remain with > RedHat, or can we change to Debian.

I think that's a question you, Tom, and/or the rest of the web group can best answer. If you feel that Debian would make your job easier (and there's no objection from others), then lets use Debian. If a faster CPU and RAM are needed, lets scrounge those up. I'm sure I have a ~P166 machine I could let ACLUG use for web development. If you have a place to host it, and want to run Debian on it, by all means do so. I currently have a K63/450 running Debian I could give ACLUG some space on (but not root access). That machine may soon be replaced by something faster, which could make it available soley for ACLUG. If nothing else, we could ask members for hardware and/or monitary donations to put together a machine for ACLUG web hosting. -- Jonathan
