Hi,

being a Linux user for several years (SuSE) I now stepped over to Debian.
I created four floppy disks as boot etc. disks which cost me 2 EUR (to be
correct that was for ten floppies) and that was it.

Being now a happy inhabitant of the Netherlands I have a good internet
connection. So I just installed Debian Etch online to my PII/266 (288 MB
ram). Took rather little time for the download but some ages for the
processing.

But it worled ok - no registrations needed, no license agreement with
producers of sh**y os emulations needed, just being happy.

And, well, at least the look&feel is a bit faster than with SuSE (Which I
still regard to be a very good system for newbies to Linux). I now use
GNOME without an increasing coffee consumption.

Very impressing.

Regards,

Dirk Weber

Happy for you. On that machine, hope you don't mind my suggesting,
xfce4 will be a bit snappier - works wonderfully on my old P2 /
300MHZ with 64MB RAM.
