Being relatively new to Linux (only year and 1/2), my first go at Debian was slink. Recommended to me by a friend (an ISP), it seemed the way to go. I'd just started Uni, and had a brand new laptop, that for the life of me, I couldn't configure X on, so Debian got dumped in favour of Redhat, which I stayed with for about 6 months. Then I managed to get a P200, and I immediately switched back to Debian and have been using it ever since, much easier to use in my opinion.
