I gotta say a few good words about this distro. If you're looking for a great distro
to try out debian, this is the one. The price is right and the support is great.
Both Jon and Tal have been extremely helpful.
I now have a great running system doing everything I wanted it to do. And the install isn't bad if you know what you have in your system. The only thing I don't have working is my printer, which isn;t supported yet.
I was able to do the following with a little help from support:
1. Burn cd's
2. Surf the net
3. Mount my windows partitions and access my windows files.
4. Get my zip drive working.
5. Get my scroll wheel working.
6. Install new programs. ( opera, mozilla )

All devices work properly, X is configured great.

In my system I have:
Pentium 3 733mhz
256 meg ram
3 hard drives, all accessible by linux
3 versions of linux. ( storm,suse,libranet)
ATI All in wonder 128 32 meg video card
Soundblaster Live Gamer 5.1
Iomega internal 100 meg zip drive
Plextor CD-R
Basic floppy
Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard

All harddrives are western digital.

Like I say, if you've been wanting to try debian, give Libranet a shot. The price is reasonable too, around $20.

Just my 2 cents
