Really? If RH/Fedora is a mess, then maybe I should take another look at
Debian[1], because I find it to be simple, intuitive and well thought out.
Yes, there are a few expections to that, but on the whole I've been very
impressed with it. Debian must be truly outstanding if it makes that look
like a mess...

[1] Actually, the one I'm most interested in is the new NetBSD init system,
    which from what I've seen looks to have the potential to be better than
    any of the alternatives (dependency checking between applications - Mmmm!)
