Debian is widely considered the Linux distribution with the best package management tool, APT and one of the largest software bases (>13,000). However, the installation horror stories kept me away. Nevertheless, eager to try it out, I failed to install various other Debian GNU/Linux based distributions. Some failed to boot even after I tried to reinstall for the fourth time, and others just couldn't detect my hardware. While Knoppix is highly recommended, I decided to stick with hard-drive based distros (Although it is the distribution of choice for LiveCDs). Then came Libranet.

Thanks for your interesting comment. Now i know how i can recommend ''user-friendly'' Debian GNU/Linux to a friend who wants to start with GNU/Linux
You are wrong on one point, though. It isn't ''Debian'' the name is ''Debian GNU/Linux''. There is also ''Debian GNU/Hurd'' and ''Debian GNU/NetBSD'', for example.
I'm wondering, are there also alternatives for Libranet, which are based on Debian GNU/Linux (or APT, or use .deb)? If so, can someone sum these up?
