Sounds basically like a good idea to me. It also sounds like a tall order, but why not, if the security issue can be handled :-) One thing I definately agree on is that Debian could do with easier installation, or at least more user guidance. Personally I decided on Debian after trying Suse and Red Hat first. However, I've been following the Linux distro rankings in one computer magazine (CHIP, Germany), and Debian is rated lowest amongst 7 others. I think this is mainly due to lacking "user guidance" during setup and package installation. I've not installed potato from scratch myself, but I guess those ratings are based on potato. What is the general opinion? That Debian is not for users who cannot deal with it the way setup/maintenance is designed now, or that it is a goal to also include users unfamiliar with the command line someday? I believe Suse and Mandrake are following the latter path? Just curious. Marcus
