In what way? I have installed debian several times (not just on my box) without any serious problems...and this was before I really knew linux :) > My advice would be to dip your toe in the water with RedHat, then come > to Debian after you've been swimming for a while. > You wouldn't want to learn to drive in a Ferrari, right? ;) I always consider this a bad analogy. What is so difficult about debian? Would it become `easier' if all those cludgy gui config scripts were available? If so, someone send me the source, and I'll package them (having debugged them first :p).
