Hmm, well if I got the real Debian, and went thru a million FAQs and got it running ... would it be much like Redhat at all? I'm really a linux noob, I know how to use the terminal I mean... I don't just boot into XWindows and say "Yay I'm using Linux" and open Mozilla and gAIM :P
But say I install it, this apt-get for Debian is much like Redhat? So I can update the noob way? What about packages it comes with? Am I going to be stuck trying to install everything by hand or does it come with packages like redhat?
I'd like to get off Redhat to I can get a challenge but if its going to give me a useless laptop then I'll pass :P I do use it often, so if it wouldnt be working in a few days I'd be pissed at myself
