not anylonger . I'm a 2.6.4 user here. Went from 2.4.22 to 2.4.25 to 2.6.4. I still have 2.4.25 as a back up build just in case so i have the ability to boot . Yay to multi kernel boot options.

slack is the best if your willing to learn the ins and outs of linux.. gentoo is pretty easy to install, but you have to follow the instructions to the T.. (I wonder what "to the T" really means..) Only reason I don't like RH is because they went commercial.. *shrug*

but the main thing is this.. find a distro that your happy with, that works for you, and thats all that matters.. screw what I say and everyone else.. theres a plethera (sp) of distros out there..

Yep, just like in the best distro thread, Gentoo its a LONG installer! no 2 hours i'm up and running, with a gui interface.

As far as to the T, it basically means follow it to the letter, which just someone happened to define as the letter T because it sounded good. Or they were a golfing person and T sounds like tee, and well its small and holds a ball in place type of thing.

But yes the best advice we can give is find a distro that does what you want.

If you need help with debian, i can help. Its not that hard to install, once you understand a couple of basic things. First being that its a sequential installer, even though it gives ALL options at once.
