And then you could buy Microsoft Office, and probably pay for the licensing of the shareware software you'll be running, or put up with adverts in the software. You'll also need to buy yourself a virus scanner to stop those outlook viruses, they're just deadly. Debians good, takes a little longer to get to know than some other distros, but it usually pays off in the long run ;) Also with debian, if you have a decent internet connection, you'll only need the first CD. Or even one of the debian mini-cd's (Theres a local mirror at http://kosmic.samizdat.co.nz/debian-minicd/) and then you can just apt-get everything else from the internet. I remember once installing from only the first CD and a 33k modem. Sascha
