Unfortunately, virtually every conversation about any of your systems
begins with a tirade about how Debian is completely broken, whether
it's the partitioner, the screen reader, aptitude, ncurses,
network-manager, resolvconf, IPv6, CUPS, logging and log rotation,
tail, ssh, ip, man pages generally, kmail's font rendering, brltty,
or Debian's policy on stable and any improvements in its security
policies. That's 4½ years worth. And everything becomes a battle,
an enemy that must be defeated, often by reckless means.
Cheers,
David.
