I could counter with the bugs I've submitted to Debian for resolving
and how well those went (not to mention the number of e-mails/IRC
chats with Wichert trying to figure out WTF broke while installing
soemthing), but I'm above that. ;)

Distros have their problems, no doubt about it.  It's fortunate we can
have this discussion at all as compared to Windows users.  It's also
fortunate that we can find our own ways around some of the problems that
also happen to be distro-agnostic (SI instead of kickstart for example).
