I just installed Debian using debootstrap from a Knoppix disk.  I 
had to do it that way since the install disks did not have a module
for my SCSI controller. :(  

Worked wonderfully.  Have to set up many things manually (partitions,
lilo, configuration files) but that's not a problem.  And, since it
was a network install, everything seemed to already be updated.  I
did install a few packages just to get everything running the way I
would set-up clients.

The only thing I can't seem to find is a url for apt to get OpenOffice.
I can't believe there isn't one.  Does anyone know where that is?
Of course, I could just compile it ;)

This is my first Debian install, so now it is off to Gentoo.

Thanks for all of the suggestions over the last few days.
