> > A typical newbie won't start with Debian An important factor is the question of which package management system is the best. In my experience, Debian's is the best when used with dselect/apt, etc. All the deps are sorted out and I think this could be considered a real boon for a newbie.
Of course, when talking about newbies - a lot will probably be coming from window$ so can't really survive unless they have a fancy graphical installer/package manager (like gnorpm). Cheers, Jason.
