I bought my laptop at the beginning of May and I'm still not connected to the Internet. I downloaded SolydK but found that dysfunctional. Distrowatch says Debian has "Wine" and is popular but I can't find "Wine" in https://packages.debian.org/stable/
I'm currently downloading Debian and it is showing 557 MB. It has 37000 packages. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm downloading the minimal installation without "Wine". I want an OS which has "Wine" installed by default. When I downloaded Ubuntu it has 1.4 GB, and does not have "Wine" installed by default.
I would say your best option for advice regarding Debian would be their forum.
I don't mean to make you go elsewhere for support, but it is the proper place for it.
OK, but I've sent a message in
http://ask.debian.net/questions/ which has not been answered and I've tried to register in
http://forums.debian.net/ and get a message saying my IP has been blacklisted for spamming. I don't spam. But I'm connected to an ISP which does not require identification and probably a feeding ground for spammers. I'm beginning to loose faith in Debian.
