Hello list
Maybe it's a bit OT, but we do want new users, or not? ;-)
I have noticed that many newcomers to Debian often seem to not understand that one of the big differences between Debian and other distros/OSes is that you don't need to download EVERYTHING. They probably get the impression that by downloading only the net-install CD or the first CD/DVD they would not be able to benefit from everything Debian has to offer.
Is this just a false impression of mine?
no. think you 're right.
I wanted to get some more opinions before bringing this to debian-www. Maybe
they could put some more emphasis on this (great) feature of Debian. I can even
imagine newcomers getting scared of the huge number of .iso (14 for i386) to
download on the first install and possibly every upgrade (another feature maybe
not enough advertised).
i agree again. got to make this clear
