Heh, I will respectfully disagree. If I wanted to learn something new I would
get around to mailing out my letters for grad school.
Really installing debain taught me nothing but how annoyingly complicated
linux can be, and why I love SuSE. I am interested in an easier to use
debian though because some of the systems I are only supported by debian.
Really if I wanted to waste countless hours configuring X, and fighting just
to get my scsi controller to show up I would download the free disks off the
network, but since I can pay SuSE to make me a nice DVD and have it install
right out of the box, ill take the time I saved and spend it learning
something less painful, like Graph Theory :)
Don't get me wrong, after a few weeks of dorking around with my debian box it
makes a very nice boot server for my PPC based build nodes. Its nice now,
but took a great deal of patience...
Just my 2c
