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 found a solution to the NTFS / FAT32 dilema - use neither. A pure Linux machine is more stable, and faster than either. Even with old Ext2 your doing better than Windows. You want a few games check out the WineX project on Transgamings website. Learn not to take criticism personal as it is only someone you don't know's opinion. You would find learning Debian or Gentoo more rewarding than taking the easy path. I regret the 2 years I spent on Suse when I could have been learning the proper way instead of using someone's closed source tools to use an open source system.
