Debian and its clones 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 like Libranet

Libranet made Debian comprehensible for me. I'm now using Arch Linux, but I still like Libranet. Their Adminmenu single-handedly made Debian easy to work with. That in itself was worth the $70.

thx
