At the risk of straying even further off-topic, can I ask what you didn't like
about Debian, that it was so bad that it only lasted 3 months? It's next on my
list to try, after my somewhat unimaginative history of Slackware (2 years)
Redhat( 4 years, until they pulled the plug), Gentoo (about 6 months and
loving it).
The main thing I love about gentoo (other than the geek factor) is the emerge
facility, which I gather I get about the same with debian's apt-get. So I
thought I should try it.
