of Sot Linux (Finnish) from year 2000. Seems to have borrowed from
other distros, esp Redhat.
I'm not sure which partitions and mount points I /should/ want to use.
I've spent too much time using os/2 when I would have been better off
changing.
Intended purpose was desktop, enough development for recompiles etc,
and odd utils. Enough server services to handle simple Lan functions
(ftp, lpd). Only lightweight web serving, if it would fit. Perl a plus.
This is all for my educational backround. Once I get better at things
I could invest in a newer distro and a larger ide drive.
Thanks.
