Not at all. Definitely not whining. As I said above, I only use the Lice CD for lazy, temporary installs.

I use/support Debian more than I use Ubuntu. I use/support Solaris and RHEL far more than I use either Debian or Ubuntu. Most of Linux experience is ssh'ing to X-less installs and I have little experience with Linux on the desktop. I have no problem admitting to using any of the distros above. I have no problem expressing an opinion on any of them but I would never ask and never have asked for help in one distro on another distro's mailing list.
