Re: Why Debian

[Alex Naysmith <yeoman.python@gmail.com>]

I previously used Xubuntu and was very happy with it until Software Centre superseded Synaptic as the default graphical package manager.

Software Centre is just horrible and slow and no good for old computers. Arch takes too long to set up and can cause head-aches when Pacman -Syu makes significant changes (such as the change from HAL to udev). I've not tried OpenSuse, but it does look interesting.

I'm pleasantly surprised with just how similar Debian XFCE and Xubuntu are, which makes me wonder if there are any major differences at all.

4) there is an actual ongoing MITM attack.

Isn't it ironic, how we people tend to forget about real
meaning of own alarms?  *Especially* those of us who
really understand them?
