Hehe!  I just installed 3 of them to find out for myself. Now for the
life of me I don't know which 2 to dump.

Looks like I'll keep Slak but at this stage that has to be an entirely
subjective leaning.  I looked at the installation as being a sign of a
methodical approach and Debian took that prize, 

Try them all, but get something like a multi-CD to start with,
Info-Magic or another. You can always sub to the distribution you
finally decide on later,

DON'T bother with the floppy or FTP stuff, nothing but problems. The
flops got more bugs than an anthill!

 
Later,
