I actually don't dislike Debian as much as my ranting would indicate. In
the past, the installs have been truly horrid, but things have improved to the
point where they are only mildly unpleasant. That, and I don't find APT to be
God's Gift to System Admins the way some people say it is. In other words, it
doesn't live up to the hype. But then, what does? :)

FWIW, Red Hat nicely asks you which partitions you want to format before it
formats them.

Might as well. Everyone else does. ;-)
