New Wow. This is sah-weet
Fully configured debian distro straight off the cd. Onto this Dell Cpi I have to correct 2 issues (standard issues) which are soundcard and wireless. Everything else works perfectly (actually better than had I had to make all these choices myself)

Thanks bud...this is way less painful than net install. Even better than Mandrake install, which was my previous vote for braindead simple Linux installs.

New No problem!
I'm curious - which version did you end up using?

New 2004.04
Downloaded and burned. Couldn't take advantage of your offer for some reason.

No biggie. Didn't recognize sound and wireless card. Working through those after I get it updated.

First apt-get was the update. Next was aptitude. Next will be xfce. Then I fix the rest.

KDE is ok..but too much for this old thing to deal with.

New Odd -
I settled on Mepis because of the sound-card support/detection! *chuckle*

Oh well - glad it's useful!

New Nothing has ever worked first pass
No issue really. I've done this a couple times to this lapper before. Just a matter of getting a round tuit.

Any more detail than what's there and you'd have to have the magic software they use in movies to pull a license plate out of five pixels.
