At a time when installing Red Hat's Fedora Core is as easy as installing Windows, literally, it's rather shocking to come up against something as difficult and unintuitive as Debian! I wasn't expecting it to be that difficult.

The package manager Debian uses is clearly superior to rpm, though, which is why I'm looking to use Debian-based distros from now on. Want to install Mozilla Firefox? Just type "apt-get install mozilla-firefox" and it's all done for you, dependencies included!

XandrOS, although it isn't free, is starting to look pretty good right now!
