management.
Thanks for the tip on Gentoo - I'll give it a look.

Of course the Debian users feel very superior at this point
We'd recommend Debian, using an easyinstall Live Cd system and then apt-get
whatever you 'd like or need.

Gentoo starts with a livecd as well. What you get with itm, though, is
the ability to easily customise and optimise your system. If you
compile everything you install you can optimise it to your processor.
The Linux computer I use on a daily basis is a 5 year old Pentium III,
and it's plenty fast enough. Before I installed gentoo I imagined that
compiling my own kernel was going to be really difficult, but it
wasn't. The last time I tried installing Debian I frankly admit to
being baffled by the install process, but that was a while ago. I
expect it 's got easier. :-)<br>
