I find that with debian you only have to do one install and then apt-get
upgrade keeps you up to date. with SuSE and Red Hat you have to install the
next version to get latest software. This is why I moved to debian. I find
tasksel too clumsy to use and if I was installing again I would just install
a minimal system. synaptic is easier to use than dselect so if you run X all
the time you should use it.
