Thanks alot for that. Very helpful - so far I'm tossing up between Debian 
and Slackware. I like your suggestion of multiple distro's on separate 
partitions, but for now I'd like to concentrate on one at a time.
As far as Debian goes, why do people tend to use unstable rather than 
stable? Is stable much more out of date?
