Unfortunately, virtually every conversation about any of your systems begins with a tirade about how Debian is completely broken, whether it's the partitioner, the screen reader, aptitude, ncurses, network-manager, resolvconf, IPv6, CUPS, logging and log rotation, tail, ssh, ip, man pages generally, kmail's font rendering, brltty, or Debian's policy on stable and any improvements in its security policies. That's 4½ years worth. And everything becomes a battle, an enemy that must be defeated, often by reckless means. Cheers, David.
