But Debian is supposedly one the best Linux available and most highly rated Linux distros are derived from this (Like Ubuntu, Knoppix and so on..) Do wait for more replies.. Cheers!!!

And also join your local Linux User Group (LUG) .. Maybe Anurag can help him finding a LUG near him .. __________________ Sleight of hand and twist of fate... On a bed of nails she makes me wait...

Read this Get-Started-With-Knoppix eBook.

I have a complete CD with lots of documentation, but i can only give it to you if you are in Mumbai.
