Odd, I've never, ever had any problems like that with Slackware, it all just works from the get-go. :p

Debian is completly free, it is opensourced freeware. Just install X11 and have fun.

--- Quote from: Narf Man ---kintaro... does Debian give you Linux's full power?
I've been using Xandros and quite frankly, it's pissing me off cuz it's so damn crippled. Even with K3B I can't burn faster than 2x and I can't get DVD burning ability to go. Windows partitions are read-only. The "file manager" crashes too frequently.
Xandros was OK when I was transitioning over from windowsland, but now it's just too restrictive (I'm not paying $90 to "unlock" full ability).

Yep, Debian is probably the pinacle of Linux distributions. Only one I know that comes in 14 CD's. It has everything.
But I reckon slackware based distributions, just simpler and lighter and easier to use. Any non commercial distributions will give you the full linux capabilities. If you just want it for a desktop a totally recommend Vector Linux 5.1 SOHO, or Slackware itself.

I've decided to go with Debian, it seems pretty cool, and apt-get sounds useful, chatting on IRC even before you get Xwindows up. I'm going to install it next week, just because I've got a major project due monday, and I can't afford to lose it by accident.
