One NASTY fault with debian is, if it ain't free, it's not part of the
distro... For mozilla/firefox/epiphany etc you have to track down the
plugins and install them yourself... including the hugh java j2re_1.4.2
(whatever) and flashplayer, etc.. If you dont' have broadband, good
luck.. This one issue alone is what makes debian based distro's like
mepis and ubuntu so appealing to a lot of people... They come with all
these plugins so it saves you a ton of time in post install system
tweeking... Of course they introduce you to a whole other set of
other issues but a lot of people seem to be able to live with them...
