I feel like RedHat has sold out on me as a paying customer, so I'm looking at Debian. I've run into a few problems, though...
First, the framebuffer console looks hideous on my laptop. I searched the list archives, but the only solutions I found were using the kernel parameter 'vga=normal' (no effect) or recompiling the kernel (something I prefer to avoid). Second, I tried 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-586'. I got the new kernel installed and running (which nicely took care of the above problem), but it didn't come with pcmcia modules so now I have no network. Are those in another package? Third, to see if apt-get is as easy as everyone says, I did 'apt-get install xfce'. It downloaded all the dependencies, or so it says... but when I run startxfce, it bombs because it can't find 'xinit'. What am I missing? Thanks for helping out a newbie.
