[PLUG] Choice of debian-based distro

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

My problem with the frequent internet access only started after I 
downloaded a large list of items from the kubuntu "universe" (a much 
larger apt repository than what's included in the basic OS) so I can't 
exactly blame kubuntu/ubuntu for that.

BUT I have had other issues with it and am now thinking it may not be 
for me.  I would probably install Debian stable but thought I'd ask 
whether anyone had a recommendation for another Debian-based distro I 
should try first.  Xandros has a free version but they do things like 
cripple the write speed of the CD writing software and that makes me 
think it might be something to stay away from.  Or is Xandros so good 
that I should just go ahead and buy the "real" version?

Any others I should consider?
