Mepis has been *excellent* to me. www.mepis.com with very little effort
you can go from Live CD to installed OS. The live CD has a button on the
desktop that says, "Install Mepis to my computer" (or something to that
effect). Hopefully the advantages are obvious... My friend Ken has figured
out the workaround for those who don't have a bootable CD drive.

And then once it's all up and running I just did a "dist upgrade" to get
back to Debian. (Which I know and love.)

Hopefully the revised/updated checklists will make it back into the LDP if
the LDP stuff is out of date?

thanks,
emma
