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.

z1xq, there is nothing wrong with PartitionMagic. I've been using it for years. Obviously, FIPS isn't going to work if anyone has a NTFS partition, as I do. I'm not "not advanced enough to get Debian going". I chose to review a distribution that has all the benefits of Debian, as well as some interesting features added by the developer.
