You like living dangerously, don't you?     8-))

(No I'm not talking about running Debian, I'm talking about raising the 
subject of 'favourite distro' on a Linux list   :)

I'm running Debian Etch too.     Used to run Red Hat up till about 9.0 when I 
switched to Debian Woody.   I've also had success with DSL.   Every time I 
try to install a Ubuntu it crashes.   Half the Knoppixes I've tried have 
crashed as well.   Back in the days when Mandrake was said to be the 'easiest 
Linux', every Mandrake I tried crashed on installation too.    I don't know 
what it is about me and 'easy-to-use' flavours of Linux but we seem to be 
mutually incompatible.    OTOH, I find Debian very easy to use and it gets 
easier to install with each version.   (That's probably pushing my luck, 
saying that - just wait till my next install.... )
