My experience has been that three installs of a new distro are often warrented: once to see how it works, twice to try to get it right, thrice to get it right. And yes, it's a good way to learn. Best thing to do is to keep the install to a minimum, allowing you to cycle through the sequence quickly. I tend to like to play extensively with partitioning and such. I almost always find I did something that I'd prefer to have differently. > As to your current dilemma I would suggest you make life easy for > yourself and use "apt-get."
