ok thanks Roberto!
That is awesome, I have been using Slackware for a few years
now(and will continue to do so) it only has three CD's but I have only
ever used two of them. I will try Debian now and see how it is.

Happy new year!
Phill.

Hi there
Im installing the amd64 version of Debian, can
anyone tell me if I need to download *both* DVD iso's?
Surely it cant be that big?
cheers
Phill.

Sarge is on something like 13 or 15 CDs. Etch is even bigger. Yes, it
is that big. Now, you more than likely can get away with just the first
one, as the vast majority of the important/popular software is there.
