-- I know Unix well, but find that many of the problems with Debian are
Debian specific, not Unix.
The most notorious problem source to me is dpkg/dselect, which gets one
into such a convolved situation in some cases that there is no recovery.
The second worst area is X; we nave lost 2 different installs because X
would lock up the console on setup. Many other problems are the standard
cycles of bugs in each release; again product specific.
Still, I use it!
