Not the easiest for initial setup, but you'll thank yourself later because your problems with package dependencies are greatly reduced. (I tried installing Mandrake 8.0, but it's got some serious gaps - I sense I could be hacking the kernel for months to get all my devices recognised). I don't know about 8.0, but 7.2 was the most broken distro I've seen. It did have good driver support, though. Timm Murray --- Theory is when you know how it works, but fails.

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 (Hint: if you think a Pentium II is obsolete technology, or if you expect your 2-week-old video card to be supported by X out of the box, or if you rely on tools like YaST or linuxconf, you're going to be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.) -- Greg Wooledge | Truth belongs to everybody.
