Yup. Or, better yet, Mandrake! Then move them on to Debian after a
couple of months, when they're a bit more world wise :).

Yes! But also, and a lot of people who only really glance at Debian
before installing Red Hat or similar, is the fact that Debian packages
are generally of a very very high quality. Packages are maintained by
people that care about the software they're packaging and (generally)
understand the Debian system very well. And when there's something wrong
with a package, bugs are filed and generally stomped on quick-smart. I
recall Red Hat packages varying pretty wildly in quality when I last
played around with a Red Hat system.
