Injecting bitter sarcasm when people are trying to make improvements
couldn't help.
The current system is broken, to a degree. Can you sit down in front
of a Debian box which you didn't set up, watch the startup scroll a
few pages in a couple seconds on a fast machine, watch the shutdown
scroll a couple more, and be fairly sure you know whether anything has
gone wrong?
If not, then Debian lacks something that most every other OS offers,
and it's likely worth changing a couple things to get it.
