I've got a PC running Mandrake 10 and that's pretty good so far. I just
have the odd issue with installing software. The latest episode was when
I tried Digikam (digital camera download, photo management/editing). It
comes as source and I gave up after it demanded about 6 other packages.

I have another PC that's due to be Linuxed and fancy trying something
different there. I hear lots of good things about some of the Debian
distros. So I'm after opinions. Possibilities include Knoppix, Mepis,
Ubuntu (not sure if I want Gnome only). I don't really have the time to
play with all of them, so I'm after the path of least resistance. I
intend to put together a list of software I'm using and/or intend to
use. That should appear on my blog at www.bagofspoons.net some time soon.

If Tony is stll interesting in trying VoIP I think I can do it using
Gnomemeeting. Mail me your connection details. I'm away for a week from
Friday, so it will probably have to happen after that.

And I'm still interested in some sort of keysigning ;)
