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
