hi
iam anew linux user i loved this system
i learned more about it from sams and rute
i have used core3 and i have heared about debian and its stability and
power and i want to use it ihave pentium 3
what do u advise me to do???

If you have used linux at all then installing Debian really should not be hard. However if you want to get a feel for Debian then here are some suggestions:

Mepis (I've heard good things about this one)
Ubuntu (Gnome desktop)
Kubuntu (KDE desktop)
etc...
I'm sure there will be other suggestions, but IMO the best Debian system is Debian itself.

Try running Knoppix before you actually install debian to your hard drive.

I started using Debian 3.1 Sarge a couple of weeks ago and I'm having a bang-up jammin' time enjoying it. Running a Live-CD is fine, but to git the full effects of a new system is to install the full system. I have a triple-boot system with WinXP,Slackware-current and now Debian 3.1-Sarge_stable and having a blast. Especially with Debian.
Debian is soooo much faster than either of the other two system,you wouldn't believe.........
Go for the for the glory and install the complete system and enjoy!!!!

That's not all I got to say about that............

Hi,

cheers

thank u for ur reply but why i use
Mepis (I've heard good things about this one)
Ubuntu (Gnome desktop)
Kubuntu (KDE desktop)
is debian very hard??

The latest Debian 3.1 is quite easy to install
if you can install Ubuntu 5 you can install Deb 3.1
you will need to know what your video card chipset is though
just take your time during the install

floppy

but i didnt install Ubuntu before
i learned only on fedora core3
then is there asite to learn howto install debian3.1
thanks for ur attention

Hi,
Go to http://www.us.debian.org/
Read the documentation and also the thread here in the debian forum : debian post-install
This may be the trickyest part : to configure your sytem after install.
cheers

I managed to install debian 4 years ago as my very first disto. Its not that hard at all.

then i want how to install it with pictures
coz i installed slack before and failed
since slack is easier

Pictures ? Well, I am afraid you won't get any pictures to install Debian.
But if you can follow instructions, in your own language, because Debian
does let you choose among many languages at install, you'll be fine.

yeah installing debian is far from a nightmare... you said you had done a ubuntu install before. Ubuntu install is very similar to debian.

i have a nightmare i have the cds but i cant setup them

Pictures? http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/sl...se=184&slide=1

Do you mean burning the ISO ?
