Just curious... Why not go with debian instead? Is there a reason? I've 
been using debian for quite a while and find it more stable, upgradable, 
and not too tough to install. They have a new installer coming down the 
pipe that should simplify that a bit. And there are very good installers 
in offshoots such as Libranet. The support is free and available on the 
web. It's well established, with a huge assortment of packages, and a 
choice of degrees of stability. You'd be hard pressed to find something 
more stable than 'Stable' Debian. And 'Unstable' is still very stable, 
IMHO. (and it /is/ humble).
