Help with Debian Linux

(1/2) > >>

SpeeDFreaK:
I'm moving from mandrake linux to debian. This would be my second attempted install. I've found that debian is a really nice distro due to the whole apt-get and wget thing. But installing and configuring isn't as easy. I wanted to know if anyone knew of any websites or other debian based distros that had a little simpler install or if there were any help documents out there for configuring debian.

You can try Libranet Linux or Knoppix. If you try Knoppix, I would go here to read about the hd install.

Knoppix hard drive install is still buggy.  Having installed and run both I say Debian is better all around and in the fact that it has less install related bugs.

There are some useful docs on  Debian site, surprisingly  

And there is quite a good book 'Debian GNU/Linux', O'Reilly. If you need this, I could send you a copy.

SpeeDFreaK:
Libranet doesn't look that bad, but it seems like the downloaded version doesn't come with as much stuff. Seeing as I already have the Debian discs made, would it be possible to install libranet and use anything else I may need off of the Debian discs?
