Its too bad Debian wasn't a lot easier to install.  even
with the new potato which I am running now it is not easy
to install.  but I have knowticed that with Debian every
thing seems to always work the way the How-tos and faqs and
most other things say they are suppose to.  Debian is kind
of the Distribution independent distribution :)  But dependency
problems are almost nil in Debian because of apt being able
to fill any that are missing automagicly.

Debian is the one "true" linux Developed in the linux way.

and suse didnt care much for col and havent tried the new
Corel linux slakeware was preaty cool and I like the ideas
behind stampede.  Mandrake is cool.   enough rambling im leaving
