I haven't considered any other distro besides Debian for my own use.

The only other distribution I've considered for folks that aren't "skilled"
enough is Progeny, since it's based on Debian and comes with support. Ian
Murdock is the CEO and Bruce Perens is the Chairman of the Board. Probably
can't go wrong with that combination...:-)

Has anyone on the list upgraded a Debian system to Progeny? I saw instructions
on upgrading a potato 2.2 system on the download page but haven't tried it
yet.
