I considered reviewing Debian for this article. I downloaded a copy of Debian 3.0r2, making sure to get the disk with the 2.4 kernel. Everything you've heard about Debian being difficult to install? It's not totally true, but it's pretty close. I really wanted to try Debian, though, if only to use the vaunted apt-get system. I'd tried apt-rpm on a previous Red Hat installation, and it was great. Since Debian was turning out to be too difficult to put together, I decided to look for a debian-based distro.

I've used many other distros, and have settled on Libranet. I
bought 2.8.1 a few weeks ago, and never looked back. I had
no problems with the installation - not that other distros
are hard to install either. The Adminmenu is fantastic, and
yes my system runs FAST - faster than with Redhat 9.0, Suse,
Mandrake etc. I basically agree with the review, except that
where the reviewer found litle quirks, I found completely
smooth sailing. Well done Libranet!
