    That isn't a bad thing if the person is just outright hostile to learning
and wants things to "just work".  But in this case I think it is the wrong
answer.  George is clearly willing to take the time to learn and is asking
fairly intelligent questions.  Pointing such people to another distribution is
insulting to them and doing both them and Debian a disservice.  :(
