I switched to Debian some months ago, and I think I understand the feeling. All those other distros you need 3-5 CD's ... the big difference to the other distros I tried, is the package system. The one great thing about it is that you can download only a very small part, just enough to start your install and the rest during the install. And it Really Works. I prefer to download the first CD from the CD-set, but only because I don't want to waste a whole CD for the netinst .iso (yes, you might call me cheap :-) ). But IMHO it's a waste of bandwith to download more. Maybe later, when you are more confident in Debian...
