Back to Debian

Well almost. There are a few debian distributions around which are much easier to set up than the original. I saw a review of one called Mepis which was a 2 CD download for the lot. After downloading and burning I found I didn't need the 2nd cd as it allows all the usual debian downloads which is a huge selection of software. Mepis installed almost more easily than Mandrake. I didn't need to do anything with the video or my mousepad and my trackball. On Mandrake I had to search the net and install software to get mousepad and trackball to work, as well as play with xfconfig settings. Looks like I go back to debian. Mandrake isn't any longer as pleasant to use. Although I am a mandrake club member it is a pain to get software. I am updating from debian experimental which might mean crashes, but not so far.
