Hi Chris.
I just had my brother download, and burn a copy of the full distribution of
Debian. I can only tell you I am very impressed with all the software bundled
together. From what I can tell there is over 32,000 pieces of software...simply
amazing...just for games alone is quite impressive (420 or so in total).
If you have the money I would purchase it since the download is hugh, it took
my brother close to a week...all in all it's worth the download, or the
purchase.
Cheers.
