Top Tip: Which debian based distro for newbie?

,----[ Quote ]
| To a more experienced user I'd recommend to start with Sarge or testing (at 
| the moment they mean the same), but to a new user I recommend to start with 
| something like Knoppix, Mepis or even Libranet: they are Debian-based (not 
| Debian proper) linux distributions which will give you a more gentle 
| introduction to Debian. Besides they have friendly forums which can assist 
| you in your first steps.

Debian - Debian GNU Linux 5 review

,----[ Quote ]
| Debian GNU/Linux (Debian for short) tends not to attract the same attention
| as more flashy distros such as Ubuntu, even though the popular Ubuntu package
| is, in fact, Debian based.
|
| Moreover, Debian developers like to take their time embracing new
| technologies, with a relatively lengthy release cycle compared to most of the
| Linux clan. Indeed, it's taken almost two years to come up with Debian 5, the
| latest incarnation of this venerable distro.
|
| [...]
|
| This long-awaited update to the Debian GNU/Linux distro goes a long way
| towards catching up with what alternatives like Ubuntu have to offer. It's
| still not quite state-of-the-art, but that doesn't matter, with Debian 5 a
| well conceived, easy to deploy and stable platform for those who value
| function over form.

Search engine for Debian sources

,----[ Quote ]
| Peter De Wachter has created a Debian source code search engine for
| developers. It lets them find out quickly what files contain, for example,
| the usb_device structure required for accessing USB devices.
