I have used debian since 1997. There have been great improvements to the
installer. My usage has been primarily server(as opposed to
workstation). However, I also use it for my workstation needs. When I
need access to windows I use the linux remote desktop client to login to
remote win systems I have access to.

I am composing this on a p2-450 with 128mb connected via dialup. It runs
debian sarge. The mail client is mozilla thunderbird. I am using imap to
access the mail folders on a debian sarge machine at my network ops. It
took me about 2 hours to throw these parts together and install the
software I needed.
