Sorry, I don't understand these sentences (which might be because English is not my native language). Could you please explain what this means? Are you saying that Debian is more difficult to get and install? If so, why do you think that downloading some ISO images and putting them on a local FTP or HTTP server is more difficult than the same procedure for SuSE or Red Hat? > RedHat and SuSE both (and probably others) have free trial copies of their > distros available for download from their web sites. Ok, since you don't know (or tell) that you can download the complete Debian S/390 distribution for free (and not just a trial version!), I'm assuming that you have never actually installed Debian and that your above points are just wild guesses. If I'm correct, would you please stop doing this since it is very frustrating to see lies being spread about a volunteer effort. If you don't like Debian, that's fine. But then please tell us what you don't like so we can improve it in the next version. Greetings, Stefan Gybas
