I have been using Debian Lenny/sid on my Dell Inspiron 1525 for
several months now, and it's rock solid.

Several issues you mention seem very vague at best. The delayed boot
may be because of a misconfigured network settings, but for all the
other stuff, any potent mixture of hardware/software
(mis)configuration issues can cause problems. Being a good citizen of
the free software ecosystem requires of people to ask queries on
mailing lists and bring to the notice of the bug tracking system the
issues they face, with sufficient detail. So, I would request you to
detail on your troubles, rather than provide a vague rant which does
no good, but does pump up the blood pressure of some.
Thanks.
