Debian, idiot proof???  *giggle* Until 4.0 came out, I always pointed 
friends at ubuntu or redhat or the like, because noone could make it through 
the installer, let alone get anything configured after installing ;)  Though 
for rock-solid unixness, you can't really go past it :)   Can't say I've 
played with FC (afaik it's based on redhat, which I'm forced to use on my US 
boxes, and HATE with a passion), but I love being able to simply do a 
dist-upgrade each november when the new release of debian comes out, and 
know things are going to work..  Redhat was always a 'build a new box and 
copy your data over' kind of deal (which is why 90% of the stuff on my US 
boxes is now compiled by hand, as they're stuck on RHEL3)

Cheers,

DG
