I'll second that, with a single reservation: a lot of people complain
that dselect's interface is counter-intuitive.  That is, you won't
have a problem with it if you're reasonably computer literate 
(if you're switching over from Slackware or something you'll probably
 not be using dselect anyway.)  
If you're a casual windoze user you may find dselect and hence the
installation procedure confusing.
So, RedHat _may be a better distribution for a complete newbie.

*) dselect is the front-end for debian package management system.
