Re: Download

Hello Leslie,

I really reccomend that you get a CD ROM to start out with.  I am a
somewhat experienced user, and I still wouldn't know how to install from
ftp from scratch.  What with creating and formatting a partition, geting
your initial disks set up (I believe Debian still uses these?  it's been a
while) and other things I think ftp install could get very confusing very
fast.  Also, the CD ROM gives you hundreds of megs of neat stuff.  Even
the bare minimum will take a painfully long time to download over most
links.  I don't know about you, but my ISP is way too flaky for that
process to go smoothly.

Take a look at www.cheapbytes.com.  They have current CD's very cheap.
You might want to order an O'Rielly book from them as well to make
shipping worthwhile.  These are completely worwhile books I have found.
Good Luck!
