Re: kanotix HD installation
If you must use a Debian-based GNU/Linux then you should try Mepis
(www.mepis.org). You should give MepisLite a try since it seems to work the
best on old and new hardware and is very close to a Desktop installation of
Debian Sarge, the stable release of Debian. It even uses Debian repositories
for it's programs. There are some user-friendly features too for configuring
your network settings (wireless too). You can purchase a copy for $15.00
which is very reasonable, but that isn't a requirement.
I bought the book "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible. It helped out a lot by
covering a lot of different topics, including installing Debian Sarge (which
really isn't hard at all) as well as many other Open Source projects like
Apache, Exim4, etc...
