purrkur says this distro is the Way. 8)

I think he is right on!

The was the fastest to boot from install into the OS I have seen, yet.

I like the coloured text-based install.

I'm currently recovering a HP Pavilion for one my friends at work but I will be returning to this very interesting Linux distro, shortly.

Just wanted to let you know of some Debian resources that I visit every once in a while:

1. For Debian Admin howto's, go to debian-administration.org. It is a very popular site maintained by a Debian developer. Contains a lot of good stuff, and explained in a thoughful manner.

2. Want to know what Debian developers are doing? Check out their "planet" site over here. I visit on occasion (I read the rss feeds) and it is a great way of knowing what is hot and what is not in the Debian world.

3. Debian weekly news. You can subscribe to this weekly newsletter as well.

So get yourself a hot cup of joe and take some time off to read. There is a lot of good stuff there!
