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.

Look, what is a person doing reviewing LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS if he/she thinks debian is too difficult to install? Pathetic. You guys are a pack of lightweights, big time. I've installed debian hundreds of times and it just isn't that hard. You're pathetic. This website makes me sick; you people should just study for your MCSE and stop trying to review Linux distributions, because all the reviews here are lame, superficial and poorly written to boot.
