I've only messed around with the stock Debian distro, and haven't played with the others yet. If one of the other Debian based distros is as easy to install as Mandrake, then I'd say cool. I think Craig's point was size though, which is where Debian excels. Ed Richards has installed both ELX and Lycoris (I think). I know he said ELX was a breeze to install, not sure about Lycoris yet. Maybe somebody (like me) should do an article comparing how easy it is to install various popular Linux distros.
