    i don't use gnome or kde, i use twm and plan to use fvwm. i am happy with
    mozilla, i take no interest in firefox or others and they don't seem to
    support Java. i re-installed woody and use netscape which has java support

    one of best things about debian is well-defined packages, i mean it use
    little disk, perhaps it save most disk space among major distros. i don't
    use kde or gnome because they take big disk space without adding value to
    me.

    i download 1st CD and burn to CD-RW, so no loss
