Debian and its clones In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

The thing that worries me the most..

..is the fact that the machine's running Debian Sid. I thought Sid wasn't recommended for newbies.

Other than that, the article is a joy to read, and it brings smiles to my face whenver I look at it.

Keep up the good work, please!
