-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tom, I'm unable to help you with the servers I'm afraid, but I do have a suggestion regarding the individual machines. Should you not be able to get the servers in time, could I suggest that you use Norton Ghost? My idea is simply that you install Debian and set up *one* machine, then use Ghost to make an image of the HD to burn onto CD. Then inflate the image onto each of the other 19 machines. 20 mins each tops, *AND* you're guaranteed not to have missed anything - assuming you got the master copy right ;) Should save you a lot of time if you don't get the servers. Although Ghost is a Windows program it can be run off a boot floppy in DOS (best way to run it to be honest). Hope this helps! :) Julian Tom Brough wrote: > Your mission should you wish to accept it ........ > > There is a ship leaving Felixstowe with a 20ft container pack full > of second hand computers bound for the Cameroon.
