I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Does anyone install LiveCDs and use apt-get/synaptic to update stuff? It seems like both Knoppix 3.3 and MEPIS 2003.10.01 install great and work reasonably well, but after you do a few updates, things start going haywire. Is keeping a desktop Linux machine up-to-date just a dream?
I'm tempted to say that debian would be find, since it's the definative source, but I really don't feel like going through the work to get it installed properly (I'm talking about up-to-date, removable disks, etc).
