New Distro

I can't say that I had enough of SuSe, cuz I always liked it, but it was time for a little change. My buddy, who is also a linux freak, tried Debian out a few days ago and was surprized as to how fast this thing was working. He kept talking about it so much, that I ended up downloading and installing the whole thing. So now I'm running Debian 3.1 (testing version. 3.0 is the stable one). At first it felt weird, cuz I got used to SuSe's "all you want you can do" gui configuration menus for fast configs. This one has some too, but not as many as SuSe did, so it took me more time to configure most of my stuff. In a way I'm glad that I had to do it from command line, because it was a good memeory refreshment.
Now don't ask me which linux distro would be the best for servers, cuz I'm not able to tell you. I have mixed feelings, but I can tell you this much: install the bare system, boot it up, get it to run and then install everything else from source. First of all you will know where you putting your stuff, second you know the exact switches you have given durring configuration, and third , you get smarter :)
