Minimum requirements (user)

Of course you should have a basic understanding of computers and high interest in Linux to run and configure LinuxBBQ. If this is your first journey to Linuxland, bring with you a big bag of time and patience. We tried to make LinuxBBQ work 'as good as possible' out of the box for most hardware on the world, but it is very likely - or even a requirement - that you need to tweak your configurations and your setup. This is the beauty of LinuxBBQ, it gives you the freedom and the full control over your computer. As long as you have an open mind, you're brave enough to ask the right question, and ready to take advice we guarantee that you will have a lot of fun and that you will learn a lot about GNU/Linux with LinuxBBQ.

Don't blame me or the distro or Debian if things are 'complicated' - actually they're not. They require you to read the documentation or to ask the question here on the forums. If you think Distro X serves you better, keep it for yourself and leave silently. We're tired of reading (no matter on which forums) things like "why does it work on X and not in Y?" Do you often tell your wife how nice boobs your neighbour has?

Users who are 'afraid' of using the Sid (unstable) branch of Debian are of course welcome to participate in discussions and development around LinuxBBQ, too. It is very unlikely, though, that LinuxBBQ changes the Debian branch. Those who need a more 'corporate' version of Debian Sid are recommended to visit and try Siduction. Those interested in using the Testing variant might find joy with AntiX. Our recommendation for a stable 'light' Debian desktop is Crunchbang. If you have just switched from Windows to Linux, take a look at SolusOS.

One more thing ;)

Wux, I dare to say that you are the perfect example of somebody who was neither afraid to try, nor afraid to ask, and it was right like this. We can clearly see how much you "learned" in the last weeks, and I'm really proud of you. Great progress, seriously.

Of course LinuxBBQ should stick to Sid. There are nine million bicycles distros based on Stable, adding another one would be pointless.

BTW, when MB says that Siduction is more "corporate like", I suppose he means the tone of voice in the forums?

I suppose he does :) Siduction has a huge advantage: they have a brilliant KDE support and a steady development behind it, so I would definitely recommend it "warmheartedly" to anybody.
