Well, the steep-ness is located differently, I would say... I have
Debian on my desktop at work, but I also have to administrate a RH box.
Debian forces me to use an editor for configuration, but all the
locations make sense; are logical. The GUI tools of RH takes me only
halfway, the rest takes at least a magnitude more time than the whole
thing on Debian.

I switched from Mandrake to Debian... it seems to be a trend that people
'end up' here ;-)

Diamondback, the University of Maryland student newspaper, of Tuesday,

One disadvantage of the Univac system is that it does not use Unix, a
recently developed program which translates from one computer language to
another and has a built-in editing system which identifies errors in the
original program.
