distribution question
Hi all!
I know this is a bit off topic, but I don't know who else to ask.
Some frend of mine wish to install linux first time and I'm gonna give him
the disks of InfoMagic November 1995 5CD set. The question is wich distribution
should I suggest to him. I've heared much of good things about debian, but
AFAIK it is not ELF on this disks.How complicated is upgrading this distribution
to fully ELF one in terms of packages that should be upgraded or the only thing
to do is total reinstallation? Where can I read about this? I dont wont to tell
him just "install slakware as everyone" because most of new linux users will
continue use this OS only if upgrading is not too hard and slakware's tools are
mostly insufficiant in that area.
Thank in advance,
Daniel Vainer.
