I'd have to say a resounding YES

I originally installed it with a Dual Boot after freeing up some space on my 120gig HD and it's very simple and straightforward. . .
goto ubuntuguide.com after you get it running to help with the good stuff. . .

Also, PConlineOS 9 is another one to consider, the difference being it uses an RPM based apt-get system . . .

it's all in the repositories !



btw, I like asiago cheese the best

No, I would say slackware installation is actually a bit easier.

Slackware ask before installation, you know where you are going to install. You will have to modify lilo.conf and run lilo again.

Debian installer default using the whole hdd, you need to specify which partition you are installation. The smile symbol mean just install on without format. the skull symbol mean formatting. The plus is that in the middle of installation, it would check and put other OS in the grub startup menu as well. It doesn't mean you don't need to edit config, you should modify the menu.lst to lock the root access or else I might mkfs your hdd or other weird things.
