As for distros I myself finaly went over to the libranet way. I have been running redhat mostly and I would download the latest mandrake and run that until the latest redhat would come out and I even installed knoppix to my hard drive and ran that for a while. I had tried to run debian many times but could never get past the install/setup and config to a fully fuctioning system. The user group for Libranet is as frendly as this one and at least as helpfull. With Libranet I have Xadminmenu where I have one click install of realplayer/flash/java and mozplugger right off the top, the printer config has a quick setup for cups and can use the turboprint demo (a canon s600) which I have purchased a copy for. I get quick install of windows fonts and the dvd is running right out of the install. mp3 is also no problem. My usb card reader for the camera was a bit more dificult to install. but it is working now. (there was help for that on the libranet website) and I am now running debian and I don't think that I am going back to the rpm difficultys. Oh and for those that liked the game freecraft it is still available with a apt-get install freecraft. but that is my .02 cents worth.
