Yes, I think Debian is a great distro, but I think since using RH and SuSE prior to that, I became more influenced with RH and SuSE. I actually like them all, but I do not have enough PCs, or HD space, to run them all. Do not discount Debian, but my opinion still remains. It is all in the user. You should try those 99 cent CDs, and try a few of them. Cant go wrong with that. LinuxxMall is offering TurboLinnux 6.0 for free. you pay only 20 + s&h, and fill out the 20 rebate, Okay so it is still 7.50 when all is said and done. But from 49.95 to 7.50, and I got the 99 cent CD R6.2 for free.

Nick: I'm curious, have you used Debian ? Is there anybody here who's used Debian, gotten to know apt, and decided they still liked another Linux distro better ? I really must get around to trying SuSE some day. Oh yeah...
