Debian... what the F#@K?

[fantasma]

Hey All-

I've only used RedHat and Slackware. I keep hearing that Debian is the greatest thing since chickpeas. I think I want to try it, but before I do... why should I?

simple install (some people may disagree), apt-get, no worries about dependencies like RPMS, also has better package database management. apllications which are installed also get configured right away. TONS and TONS of applications precompiled for it.
its cool.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I can't say enough about Debian. It is by far my favorite distro.
Since you've used and installed Slack, you won't have a problem with Debian.
It's a crisp and clean distro. And apt-get is sweet, especially once you get the hang of how and why it works.
Give it a shot... I hope you like it.
I know I (and others) do.
