Yeah, maybe ... "Debian is reccommended for average to advanced users
but if you are a newbie stick with it; you'll be glad in the end"
Don't know if average is the right word.

I was a newbie on slink on old 386 (8M RAM + small HDD, 10G was big!)
with no connection to net :-( -- had to use floppies 'n' back then
libc6 would fit on one! Had to get shown how to mount a floppy, a real
luser :-) Hell, that wasn't that long ago.
The frustrating thing was making sense of the documentation; spelling
and grammatical errors in key places. I wasn't aware of the open source
concept of submitting patches/bugs.
ooops starting to rabbit on ...
