I've never used Debian or any other Linux Distro before. The closest 
I ever came to using any *NIX systems was my use of a shell account 
over at SkyNET.

Right now I'm just looking at the various distributions. I was 
wondering if I could install the basic Linux OS onto the first 
partition and the remaining goodies (like mailer, editors, news 
readers) onto a second partition like I had for OS/2?
