I just finished installing Debian 1.3.1 on my home pc. With just a handful of floppies with images and packages downloaded from the internet I was able to successfully compile a customized kernel and connect to the internet with ppp on the first try.
Now with dftp and/or dpkg-ftp and/or dselect I will be able to add more packages and keep them up to date quite easily. This is a much better mechanism than any other distribution I've tried. I like dselect too. It gives me a great amount of control and manages dependencies. I like it better than the mechanisms I use for SunOS, Solaris, and AIX. I also like the way restricted license software is clearly indicated. It will be quite easy to keep my machine 100% legal using Debian. I started using Linux in '92 so I didn't have to deal with the constant onslaught of low cost upgrades every few months. It just keeps getting better. Thanks to all who make this possible.
