I just bought Libranet 2.8.1, it's based mostly on Debian Sarge with packages from the Sid and snapshot repositores. The installer on it is pretty nice, mostly text based but easy to navigate, and after you get thru the first part it switches over to X and runs a graphical package chooser that lets you pick which packages, or package groups that you want to be installed.
It easily is twice as fast as Redhat 9 or Windoze XP Professional on the system I have it installed on.
I am unable to install Fedora Core 1 on the referenced system as it pitches a fit and refuses to use two of my 3 scsi drives in the system because I'm using a SCA to 68 pin converter on two of the drives in the system.
It never had a problem with any previous version of redhat up to version 9, after that it started doing weird things. I think it has to do with their SCSI modules beinf different, but am not sure.

Apt-get is very very nice. It's very easy to keep a system up to date using it. I can see why Debian's installer is so far behind the times compared to more commercial distributions. Shoot, you really do only have to install debian once. :)
Have fun with Debian,
Van
