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.

Anyone who uses NTFS with a Linux-Windows dual is crazy. Linux, though it will work with NTFS, many distros won't support this. So,if you want to exchange files between win and lin it won't work.If you are Windows only NTFS is too slow. FAT32 is less stable, but much faster. Unless you run a server (Windows server...come on!) NTFS is bad. I never said PM is bad. I said that for newbies it was alright. When I was a newbie I used it. With all the excellant Linux tools paying $70 for PM is stupid.I'm sorry, but if you can't install Debian you have no business being a Linux software reviewer. Not an insult...a reality. I want to see his review of Gentoo. Even the GRP install, and I'll take back what I said.
