73s: Thanks much for your reply and advice. Memory seems okay, 0F/02 only showed up when I changed drives - some kind of conflict? Tried resetting PRAM, still showed up. Tried cl…

Eh, I think I'm actually going to take a chance with Debian (maybe NetBSD), I heard some bad things about Ubuntu regarding updating. But I would like to know whether to use lenny, …
