In my never ending search for the ultimate challenge, I decided to remove Gentoo Linux from my trusty laptop and install something else that wasn't as resource starving. Thus, Debian was selected.

i guess the first distro is slackware, but debian is a pioneer..
don't have much ram, don't use KDE (maybe even GNOME) - use something like XFCE (i'm using fluxbox)
debian is definately my favorite distro - i'm currently running it on a powerbook G4 - works great, sometimes i just wish it'd be a bit more up2date..but the stability tradeoff is worth it -> i'm using debian/unstable and i never had problems a used linux user couldn't solve (used means you know how to configure text-files and console-basics maybe one year of experience) - but i think ubuntu is trying to fill the gap on the being up2date..tradeoff is that there aren't as many packages as in debian (that's a whole lot)..but you can always install official debian packages..
