Why dont you just use Ubuntu (based on Debian)?

 

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

Agree, else you can download a DSL - or any of the other Debian flavours

Not everyone is lazy, maybe he wants to build the system himself. Usually it's the people that want an instant solution that complain the most about bloat, applications and functions not working properly. Coincidentally they are also the ones that learn the least about the system and how to use it.

dd1313, you can find the appropriate disk(s) here. Good luck

Eish! You trying to give me a inferiority complex here?

I have never complained about bloat. My laptop runs like a dream and as far as I understand, no matter how many apps you install, your system will remain as robust as a newly installed system. Anyway, was just a suggestion

Face it, us Ubuntu users are the bottom of the heap - doomed to be scorned by Gentoo and Arch users till all eternity. If it's any consolation, even those users are looked down upon by BSD users.

Yes well, thank god not all of us linux users were born with a desperate need to be punished and figure out how to get 3G working on our linux box haha

If it doesn't involve thousands of arcane commands from the command line typed at 3AM in the morning, while eating cold pizza, and not having stepped outside, had a shower or spoken to anyone for three days, then it isn't proper linux. Don't you ever learn?

I can relate to that! My adventures with LDAP comes to mind quickly.

Reminds me of a old cartoon called "what really happened to Elvis". Had a pic of him sitting in front of a UNIX terminal, with a bubble above his head saying "I will not leave this desk until I configured Sendmail via M4 properly".

I am glad I did the Gentoo thing when I did (use Ubuntu now on my laptop and DeadRat at the office). But when I need to patch a kernel by hand or run a GDB backtrace on a misbehaving app. The guys who spent their time in the comfort of Ubuntu and other instant OS's are totally lost.

Who cares man! As long as their are still IT geeks like you around, then the lazy ones like me is sorted. KIdding

you can safely add a few other distros

@op - you only need to download the first cd. or you can try a debootstrap. I followed this guide when i did it. A quick look see tells me it is a bit out of date though. If I have a chance tomorrow I will look at it to see how it can be updated.

locally stable can be found here

finding international for stable or testing should be easy
