nice choice !
Welcome to the Debian Community (personally I just download the first cd, install my internet connection and then i install from internet...)... but if you wanna download the 18 cd of debian youre free :-D (dont worry I think youll need only the 3 first cd to install every important thing)

Hmm, I hear Sarge has ( finally ;) ) been released proper. I think I will try it out myself. I\'ve got an old 400MHz box lying around not doing anything just yet - a good binary distro will do nicely. Yay, a \"new\" server to play with!

I much prefer fken\'s recommendation - get the net install disk, and download only the programs you want. 8GB\'s worth of data is such a  waste of bandwidth as far as I\'m concerned. Especially when you consider that many packages will have security updates and the like, so will change anyway. ( I think this is what fken means? ).

/me runs off to download Debian

Well, too late for your advice. I already downloaded. Now to write to DVD, and I\'ll be done.

Heh, nevermind :D Hope it\'s a bitorrent and you share it... ( What kind of connection do you have?! )

Let us all know how it goes! I\'m going to wait and install it on my server tomorrow.

fken - since you seem to be a Debian user, a few questions if I may? What/where are the best resources for community help? I can only find mailing lists on debian.org, and I seem to have this innate distaste to mail lists for some reason. Are there any official forums? If I apt-get, say, apache, will it grab any dependencies that I don\'t have too? ( Sorry - am reading the documentation, but not found anything about this yet :) ).

Cheers,

And of the software that comes with the package, can you tell us which are good to know how to use?


P.S. I have a cable conection... But the computer in my room is linked through a router (for which the Linux drives will not instal on my FC3).
