One of the reasons why I've been using MDK is because it always uses the latest versions of software packages. (I'm afraid I'm a bit of a features junky!)
I keep meaning to try Debian.
The 'stable' release comes with quite old packages, doesn't it? Whats the best way to use Debian with more up-to-date packages?
Yeah, change the spelling of Debian to "Gentoo". Works for me!
Or just change the spelling of "stable" to "unstable" and have very steady nerves ;)
As for CDs, feh, out of date things, evil :) If you've got a reasonable connection available to you, always go for a net install :) (otherwise, the CD with the most useful packages on is CD1-nonus, tiz bootable, has ssh on it, and the usual plethora of tools.)
Cheers,
