But Red Hat had pppoe support, which is why I ended up sticking with 
RH/Fedora for 8 years.
I had tried installing Debian a few times, but never once succeeded in 
getting the X server to function (even when attempt with the same exact 
configs for the same hardware as used in RH), until this current Lenny 
system I'm writing from at the moment (my laptops have ubuntu, which is 
why I stay on this list while, now, all my office desktops have debian 
lenny).
