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 ;)
And a plentiful supply of sacrificial goats?
As for CDs, feh, out of date things, evil :)
Out of date for years. Condensed punchcards.
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.)
Don't! I like living the other side of the Styx, but it has its drawbacks innit.
