Tbe best? Umm, that's strictly opinion. IMHO, the easiest is hardly over the best. Just because Mandrake and RedHat are easy to install doesn't mean that they are the best. Just install Debian on a machine of no importance a few times, until you get the hang of it. I think someone else already suggested that. > and also, Would 1 gig be enough to practice installing Debian (or > another > Linux OS) on? definitely. please call debian GNU/Linux.
