I just had to spend over an hour online before I found r5  (not even  
r6 which is listed as "latest" at Debian.org)

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 5. One thing we can all agree on is that Debian has improved  
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the Linux
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; community tremendously . . .
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I agree wholeheartedly.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; That brings the whole discussion full circle.
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; I'll throw this into the mix (coming from a Debian advocate)....
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Debian is a PITA to get started with.  Getting your hands on a  
&gt;&gt; good ISO
&gt;&gt; install image is easier than pulling teeth from a rhinoceros.  Go to
&gt;&gt; Debian Planet (www.debianplanet.org) and search for ISO... you  
&gt;&gt; will only
&gt;&gt; find articles from 2001 and 2002.  :-(   Go to cdimage.debian.org and
&gt;&gt; try your luck (make sure you read the comments about the debain  
&gt;&gt; servers
&gt;&gt; being hacked and the state of the ISOs there).
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Once you do get your hands on a good Debian net install ISO, you will
&gt;&gt; find that you treat it like gold, given the difficulty you have in
&gt;&gt; locating a replacement. ;-)
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Once you have Debian installed you have nothing to worry about, there
&gt;&gt; are plenty of mirrors that support updates, etc.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Just to be clear... I do love Debian.
