I started with Red Hat. Next was SuSE and now I have got Debian hamm. In my opinion debian isn't so much more difficult to install that RH or suse. I had some quit big difficulties with it, but it was because of bad multi-cd-installation-package. Dselect isn't as good as 'yast' supplied with suse, but not much worse.
In my opinion one can almost as easily start linuxing with debian hamm as with RH. Just keep in mind to install first without X and before starting to install X to find out the information about your hardware, the video card and the monitor... The installation manual could be better, I think. Might be better to write it using very simple instructions for very common hardware combinations and including hardware like scsi hds as appendices? I moved to debian because of the right 'philosophy' behind the distribution, not because of it being better than the others... [EMAIL PROTECTED]
