Hi folks, I am pretty new to Linux but have worked on UNIX, mainly Solaris for a number of years. I've just gotten an Elba and am poking around in it with grand thoughts of customizing it. But, I want to be damn careful before I actually do anything. I want to get rid of their cute little control center as my first act of destruction .. uh .. customization. I see in /etc/inittab the line that begins the concen program. I want to comment that out, but need to know how to be sure then that the machine will at least boot to a login prompt. Can I just slip in a getty line in place of the concen line? Also, I do not know for sure what distro of Linux this puppy is running. I thought I read somewhere that it was Debian but I'm not so sure now. I'm not exactly sure how to figure it out, but I noticed some differences in the directory structure under /etc from what some of the debian stuff I've read. For instance, there isn't a /etc/init.d but a /etc/rc/init.d and all the rc.*.d directories are also under /etc/rc. Well, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Blue skies.
