If you want help, be specific about your problems, give as much info as possible, and we'll try to help. If you're seriously unhappy with Debian, there's lots of other distro's around. They say RedHat is very userfriendly (haven't tried it). This is not the place for letting out bull**** like the jimbo above. BTW, maybe a cd with debian is the thing for you? they're not that expensive. (BTW: I used an american mirror for my installation, and it went absolutely smooth. I get fine transfer rates, even though I'm in Denmark.) Yes, dselect can be a newbie-pain, but if you go easy, and think, and ask constructive q's on the list, even newbies can get it working.
