where did you read "installs and works as advertised," and how does debian
lose its potential as a "contender" in the server market or any other market
just because you can't get it going? i mean, if your opinion really is that
significant, maybe all those of us who actually have running debian systems,
whether desktops, laptops, or any of a vast variety of server environments
should just shut down and give it all up. if you've got to go, by all means
do, but don't blame the fact that you can't hack it on a phrase that i've
never read on any part of debian.org, or on a misguided estimation of the
quality of something that by your own admission, you can't even get to
install.
