So I decided to take a look at the "testing" distrib(http://packages.debian.org/testing/). These seemed pretty good. So I decided to take a look at the CD images provided (http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/debian/debian-unofficial/sarge/).
I have heard that just the first three CDs would be enough to start off. However, unless I am mistaken, these CDs are created every week, most probably with the latest updates (a great thing considering the RHL9 CD images are static and all the updates thereon have to be downloaded everytime). I cant but help wondering though how much testing is done on the final CD images to see things dont break in any installation.
However, the release notes talked about a change in the installation process - using debian installer in this distrib. A random search on google brought this page (https://shop.linuxit.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=32) which claimed that the weekly updated Sarge CDs are not bootable. Apparently you need a woody CD to boot Sarge :)). The Australian Linux magazine has a very good installation walkthrough(http://articles.linmagau.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=455&page=1) of this installler though which doesnt mention any such problems.
Can the debian worshippers on this list tell this RHL guy about the Truth that is Out There?
