I have personally installed Debian for several newbies. There is nothing, I repeat, nothing wrong with Debian for newbies. The only problem with Debian is the initial HW configuration process. As this takes place during the installation party, that really should not be an issue.

Having said that, I'm not sure there are enough Debian experts in each party to allow for Debian installation. However, this has nothing to do with the "newbie friendliness" of the distribution.

Well, it is too late, and besides, there are both Fedora and MDK nowdays, meant for newbies.

You should remember that Debian is not considered fit for newbies, and therefore, we better not install it.

Hi,
We are building the branding for the "Haifux distro" based on RH9.


It would probably be too late to mention, but since RH would stop
supporting its 9 version in the next months, I would recommend you to
distribute a disk that would have ongoing support.

Personally, I've never used Debian, but I got to hear only good things
about it. The reason I recommended Debian and not MDK (the better choise
for newbies), is that I know that users that recommend RH, would never
recommend MDK. That's a pitty.

One more spot for Debian: It's support would probably never cease.
