Please, step back, read this, then add debian instead of apple or
redhat. I am not saying their work is crap. I am not saying it doesn't
have a place, I am just saying I CHOOSE not to use it. That simple. I
beleive the slagging people off was you (comments about 4 people in a
shed?)

Simply saying that is to deny that there has been anything good to come
out of debian. Whilst I acknowledge freely that apple and redhat have
done good work. Debian has too, and you shouldn't discard them so off
handedly.
