iv tryed a bunch of distroes and debian etch is by far my faverite .i liked the last debian but this is so cool. i installed it useing the miny iso or net install watever you want to call it it took about 2 hours on my cable modem aproximatly 48kbs .the drawback with this was it only installs gnome ... but it worked fin evrthing you need to get started worked fine . since i dont like gnome i imidiatly installed kde with synaptic package maneger ok that took abot 1-2 hours . then i installed nvidia graffics driver on it with some pointers from this sight and wala now i got a fully working debian etch desktop .it has evrything you could ever want allredy there and if there happens to be somthing alse you want then you can installit very easlily with ether synopti or kpackage handlers or apt without woring about the dependecy problems also you can enst alien to convet rpms to deb packages very easilt you got firefox right frome the start and can get a bunch of diferant browser if you want you get evelution for email and can get eney or all of the deferant ones easly. it a very simple install process . so if your lokking for a good linux to try i would have to say etch debian is it.
