[Sussex] Which distro.

[Angelo Servini]

Hah! I've been an IT "professional" for over 20 years or so, and I'm STILL a "Nugget!".

However, Linux is great once you get familiar with it.  Try Ubuntu if you want a Debian based distro, as it's install is pretty straightforward.  I use it and it's GUI based installer Synaptic is the best I've seen so far IMHO.

All the best

Two sure ways to tell a REALLY sexy man; the first is, he has a bad memory.
I forget the second.
