OSNews has posted a Debian 3.0 Installation Walkthrough

"After reading many of the posts regarding the recent OSNews story, "An Unbiased Review of Debian 3.0", I thought this article may be useful to those who would like to try Debian, but are a little intimidated by its installer. Several of the posts to the above mentioned story indicated that Debian's installer was a huge hurtle for many people, who would otherwise like to try it. I have found Debian to be the most useful flavor of Linux, so I wanted to write an easy, though somewhat long, walkthrough in the hopes of allowing a wider audience to experience first hand this stable and unique Linux distribution."

Linux Orbit has posted a GRUB in Debian HOWTO

"Why use GRUB instead of LILO? Well, if you're reading this HOWTO, you're likely to already have your reasons for switching. But to give a couple quick reasons, you only install GRUB in your MBR once, it doesn't need to be reinstalled each kernel change like LILO, and you can also edit the boot entries, etc. from GRUB itself without having to boot first and change the config file. These are just some of my reasons, you can find more for yourself - but how do you set it up the Debian way? This HOWTO will show you how to install the GRUB bootloader, configure it, create GRUB boot floppies and keep your GRUB configuration up to date with your latest installed kernels easily."

Thanks Anthony for this one:

"Since there are no Mandrake 9.0 RPMs I will show you how to make your own.

First you will need two files.
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-3123/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-3123/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm

The first file is the NVIDIA GLX source RPM. The second is the Kernel source RPM."
