Ubuntu is based on Debian. Not only will they send you NUMEROUS discs for free, they'll even pay for the postage!!

I want to try fedora, but i'm not sure that i want to burn ANOTHER 5 cds on it. Mandrake and SuSE really hurt my blank cd supply. Mandrake i really dont like, half the time it doesnt even start up (not sure why) and suse did horrible with my drivers. is fedora worth the 5 blank cds?

Give PClinuxOS a try. A hard-drive installable LiveCD, using Synaptic, with a great-looking KDE default desktop, and best-of-breed apps. Easiest install ever.

You only need one for Gentoo. Get the minimal CD, boot it, then start the install. It will download the rest to the hard drive as it needs it. If you have broadband.

You could use a CD-RW. After the install is done, re-use it.

I decided to go ahead and install Fedora --------- it sucks. I've never used an o/s with so many errors. It's so hard to do anything when there is pop-up errors all over the place. And you want to talk about drivers, my video keeps spazing out and there is no networking. I really wanted it to work but no go.

I checked out their website and it looks great. I especially like the built in filesharing stuff. I'm downloading it right now and I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info.

=================================
Another distro to consider would be Ubuntu. It installs from just one CD, but they mail you as many copies as you'd like in whatever format(s) you'd like (x86, 64, ppc). And get this: they don't even charge for shipping. While it appears from the above that PCLinuxOS is KDEcentric, Ubuntu installs only Gnome by default (KDE can be added.

This might sound strange but even though I am a Slackware (v10) user and absolutely love it I voted for SuSE.

The reason is that I believe some of the new/improved features SuSE made with 9.1 & 9.2 are really amazing.

I appreciate that many of these features are probably of more benifit to new users but nevertheless they are still very impressive.
