[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Dist.

[Randall Gibson]

Noo!! not a distro war. Everyone has favorite. it may take you 3 or four to find yours. I ended up on Debian, but I dont think it is a great choice for beginers. It sets up too many network services, makes your computer very vulnerable untill properly configured. But, so do a lot of distros.
	Best part is it is VERY easy to install stuff, it will do all dependencys for you if you use deb installation method. Dont think rpm's are that friendly, but I never tried very hard :) Bad part is, the New release isnt ready yet. they wait a very long time to call something stable, so you can install from internet, since there are no CD iso's yet.
