List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, I sent this message to the newbie list, but seeing as how there's more trafic on this list I'll post it here as well. I've been waiting for a while to put linux on my system, and am now hearing that as a new user, redhat is probably not the way to go. Just based on the discussions I've seen, and some tips from a friend, I am thinking that debian is probably better for a new user. So I am on the debian site, and I'm seeing all of these things about potatoes and stable and am totally lost and cunfused as to which I should download, and for that matter if I'm even in the right directory on the ftp site. Please help? Tnx in advance, Chris
