A story:
I moved from RH to Debian just shy of two years ago. At first, it was
weird and hard. The installation was a bit gnarly compared to RH. I
had to do some research to figure out which modules to load to get,
say, my ethernet card to work. I have been known to install RH, cat
/proc/modules, then wipe and install debian armed with that knowledge.
Then I got used to debian. I saw darxus mention that astronomy program
he liked. A minute later, it was installed on my system with the
invocation of a single command. I played with it. I contemplated
uninstalling it with another single command, but decided disk space
was cheap compared to the second or two of my time.
My boyfriend once needed a pop server in the house. I apt-got one. I
was about to go configure it, but then remembered this was debian, not
RH. I told him to give it a go, it just worked.
I recently had to switch to a RH machine while moving. I'm finding it
very painful. Sort of like the suburbanite who gets used to an
electric garage door opener. There's just no way to explain why it's
such a bother to go back to a manual.
I expect to be back on debian in a week or so, as soon as the movers
bring me my regular machine. It will feel good.
Debian is pure essence of goodness.
