well david, i would reccomend arch if your desktop is i686 (which it
probably is), or gentoo if it is faster than 1.5 Ghz, gentoo is a
compile everything distro, but i can help with the install (over SSH)

I'm still a bit of a newbie and a bit scared of using linux full time on the desktop.  installed debian mainly because of apt (as I've never got on with compiling progs from scratch) but I understand debian is very conversative with what it includes for stability reasons, i.e. i understand the x server that comes with it is pretty old, etc. I install x.org instead but wonder if there is lots of other stuff that could be upgraded.  perhaps I should go for something other than debian for a desktop...
