    comparison with debian

    Beginner Questions (X/Desktop)

    It normally doesn't take very long, but that depends on what installation source (broadband speed) you are using and your hardware specifications. What do you mean by freeze? Do you not get any output at all? Are you able to switch to other terminals?
