It's sad, I liked them from 4.0 up to 6.whatever...
they totally lost me with 7.
I got a cheapbytes debian CD, then spent a few minutes getting the
hang of dselect, configured it to use online sources, and
(with a cable modem) updated everything to debian unstable
in a couple hours. Having done that, I don't know if I'd recommend
unstable to others. I've had a couple minor annoyances, and
one update that made the system unbootable (thank god for boot
floppies).
The "testing" distro might be better.
If I were you, I'd take the opportunity to go to a journaling filesystem
too, at least for /home.
I did reiserfs, but ext3 would probably be easier to do.
I haven't seen a forced fsck since I did that...
