I've pretty much decided to take the Debian plunge, but now I need some direction.
Is it better to wipe my partition clean (it has SuSE 8 right now) and then install? My /home partition is on another physical drive (for now) so it will be fine, but what about other packages I have installed? Save the tarballs and burn a CD? Also, who should I get the distribution from? I have a slow dial-up connection, so downloading a whole system (with OOffice) is a bit unweildy. I would also like a *little* dead-tree documentation to help me through the install as I have heard it is a bear to accomplish. Along those lines, should I perhaps get Libranet? Or is the basic install intuitive enough for me to walk through (4+ years with linux, never re-compiled a kernal but did most everything else)? Finally, what problems should I expect and what is the best way to correct (if possible)? Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
