Thanks for the pointer, Randy! It was so refreshing to know that I'm not
alone in my
Debian installation blues. The article also pointed to a usenet news
group:
news://forum.linuxworld.com/linuxworld.forums.articles.2000-09-vcontrol_2
which was
full of comments from other people in my position.
I was so amused to read yet another posting from a Debian fan (no names
mentioned) who
claimed that the install was so easy that "A chicken could have done
it. 95% of the
time I was pecking at the Enter key". Trolls who go on like this really
aren't doing
Debian any favours, all they do is get people riled up, and start huge
flame wars!
But it got me thinking: I'd really like to see that chicken some time.
He probably
wears one of those t-shirts from http://www.thinkgeek.com/ with "got
root?" printed on
the back. Maybe an artistic-minded Debian fan could make a picture of
the chicken,
that could be used as an alternative to the penguin? He should be
standing in front of
a PC with the horrible dselect tree displayed on the screen, and should
be "pecking"
at the <shift><Q> key.
I for one would buy a t-shirt with the chicken printed on it. Any
takers?
