Re: Is Debian ready for the desktop?

[Steve Mazurek <steve.mazurek@gmail.com>]

I've used FC2, Mandrake (both of which I like very much) and Debian
Sarge.  Currently I am using Xandros, which is Debian-based. 
I'm not using Sarge right now because there are a lot of packages
included and it's hard for me to determine which I need or don't
need.  If i install too many,  I'll probably get things
messed up.  What I'm going to do is get a book dedicated
specifically to Debian, determine what I need, and then reinstall
Debian Sarge.  But I will definitely go back to Debian.

Im thinking of getting Debian Linux, currently I use Mandrake but I need
to upgrade.
On the web I could not get the Information I was looking for.
I read an article that was a bit confusing.
It says if you want a Linux Desktop rather use coral Linux or Suse.
Check the links.
http://www.aboutdebian.com/install31.htm
http://www.aboutdebian.com/desktop.htm
Is Debian more for server applications, or is it a true Desktop like
Suse?
Can I access the files on a dos partition?
