Sorry for this `me too' but I feel I really must endorse this comment.
I've previously used Slackware and RedHat and I'd say that the level of
support in Debian, as well as the quality of the packages, is an order
of magnitude better than those. I've continually had helpful mail from
maintainers, and at this very moment someone is taking an immense amount
of trouble to track down the origin of a problem which I encountered
(and solved for myself), simply in order to try to avoid the risk that
others will encounter the same difficulty. I'm *most* impressed.
