7058 56338 378800
Debian GNU/Linux (unstable). Over 7000 packages and growing. And most
of them even work. ;-)
(2 of those 7058 are opera and opera-static, which aren't part of Debian,
so they don't count. But other than that, I've got nothing "nonstandard"
in sources.list except for non-free.)
On the other hand, you said you had trouble with Mandrake 8 and kernel
drivers. If this is the case, you'll probably have even more trouble
with Debian -- the installation is not as polished as Mandrake's, and
the stable Debian has fairly old versions of the kernel and XFree86 by
some people's standards. (Hint: if you think a Pentium II is obsolete
technology, or if you expect your 2-week-old video card to be supported
by X "out of the box", or if you rely on tools like YaST or linuxconf,
you're going to be frustrated by Debian.)
