thanks for the replies. I'm not up to date, and still only know the major names of distributions, so I don't know ubuntu yet. I've seen demudi, but not well enough to know the detailed advantages.
From what I understand, Debian is a very solid package, but my problem is
that I had lost almost all my pacience trying to deal with the installation. I really don't have any more time and will to read a whole manual just to install one program, I would prefer a quicker solution, which would make it possible to do a stable work. I am not an programmer, but I'm also not a novice, and everytime now I try to get away from these installation problems.
