I know this is a little off topic for the Ruby ML, but given that there are
so many Linux users in the Ruby community I thought I might be able to get
some good advice here.

I am a longtime Windows user who wants to get more into Linux. I am
currently running Mandrake 8.1 in a VMware virtual machine under Windows XP
pro. I liked Mandrake because it seemed more up-to-date than other distros.
However, I am really attracted to the tight dependency tracking of the
Debian distros and the apt-get facility.

Can anyone recommend a good Debian distro for a Linux newbie?

Thank you in advance,
