I could not get Debian installed beyond the base system three years ago because it was confusing, so Debian could not be my first Linux. I went to Caldera OpenLinux and used that for a year, then I tried Debian again and got it installed. I liked Caldera, but Debian is much better for me. I think Debian is too confusing for first-time Linux users, especially the installation.
