Knoppix, which is Debian-based, installed to the hard drive? Then as
your skills grow, you'll eventually be able to convert it to pure Debian.

Ah, I didn't know that Knoppix was Debian-based! Knoppix was the
first Linux that I saw, as I guess it is for many. That sounds like
it might be a good idea.
You could try Debian unstable. Works great on my desktop.
I hadn't thought of using unstable. I'm learning on woody stable,
though I have pulled a few components from backports.org. What do you
mean "it doesn't break much"?
Thanks for the quick replies! This is great input for me.
