I recently replaced W2K Server with the Libranet distribution of Debian and have been impressed by it. I went that way because the old disk crashed and there was no point in reinstalling a dead OS on the new one. I downloaded the distribution and burned it to 2 CDs, booted from number 1 and took all of the defaults (except disk partitioning, which I have strong feelings about, but still could have lived with the suggested, since it's all on one drive). A short while later, I brought up a GUI administrators interface and did a one-click full system upgrade. I had my trepidations but it ended up fine. It was similar to a cygwin upgrade on Win32. The worst aspect of it, and this is my biggest beef with open source in general, is that there are too many of everything. But I guess that the market will decide the winners. This system is my 11-year-old's machine. I can assure you that he does not use command line. (Of course, neither does he use Quicken.) Libranet++ -tck
