Hi Ben
I have tried installing Debian the "proper way" using the Deb CDs - Gruesome and arcane in light of the simple GUI installers that some of the use. Knoppix, and the numerous derivatives are by far the easiest method. As an added bonus, you get to try the software out without having to do an install first. Handy when testing hardware compatabilty.
Regards, Paul.

Yes, PLUG mentioned this. It does sound like a good idea, although I get a nagging feeling that we wouldn't be doing it "properly" for some reason. Of course once we get started we can always try other distros too.
