Brian's right.  Ubunut is actually easier to install than Windows!  It
is a great desktop OS.  I will always keep a copy around to show off
and pass out.  However, SUSE Linux OSS has definitely won out in the
primary OS department for me.  As for Debian, I think getting the
packages installed has been the most daunting task for me.  I liked
Slackware's package selection much easier!

Blessings,
Don
