/me thinks debian is overrated.
Every debian install I have ever tried required additional tweaking to
1) install netdrivers
2) install X
3) configure X
Mandrake was a breeze. Whiz-boom-bah there it is! So was Redhat (well, not v
5.0)
Gentoo was a fun install. Knoppix you dont have to install because it runs
from a cd. (although if you want debian. I would recommend installing a
knoppix to a drive.)
apt-get/dselect is a rather arcane way of installing stuff. I prefer rpm's or
gentoo's portage system.
I have found most debian users are hype kings, much like slackware users were.
