I have never understood those complaints. Before I found debian I
tried Slackware (3.6 on a 486), Caldera, various versions of
mandrake, Connectiva, Redhat, and a few other distros that I dont
even remember. Every single time I would go in with the intention of
finally switching from windows but would go back within a few days in
disgust. I think the other distros make a good first impression with
their fancy installers but then get progressively worse. Debian
makes a bad (in some opinions, I personally think its quite nice)
first impression but once you have muddled through the first few days
it just keeps on getting better and better. As I mentioned before
I've been using it for about a year now and I still find at least one
new cool thing about it every few days that I didn't know about.
Its great.

Maybe I will eventually try Gentoo... But not until I get a new
drive, I wouldnt want to take out my debian system for that.. On
the other hand, I also have a dusty install of Windows XP taking up
space.... :)
