Hello, I switched to debian about a year back and
found that though looks scary at first, it actually is easier to maintain and
live with than any other distributions. But the problem is that one has to find
them! Lot of things can be done debian way but know one knows them...why? Docs

Hi!
Im also very new to debian (i have like 2 weeks since i installed it),
and i feel the same way; although it looks *very* scary at first, in the
end its much more easy to mantain that any of the other distros out
