My first Linux experience was with Caldera OpenLinux. After a year or so of
that, I moved to Debian Hamm or Slink and I can't imagine going back to an
rpm-based distribution.
If you like the Debian packaging system but think Debian is for "techies", I
suggest you try Xandros, Linspire, or Freespire. Freespire might be
too "techy" but you might want to try it anyway and it is available at no
cost. If you want a Linux that works "out of the box", Linspire and Xandros
are very good Debianish distros.
