You seem to give debian the 'big up' even when it's not remotly needed.

I'm a debian fan, and I don't like redhat for a courple of reasons.  This being
said, there are more packages in RPM format then .deb.  So you probably have to
compile less often for RH then debian.  I rearly compile stuff with debian, and
when I do, thier tools make it easy.  The average debian user won't have to,
but then, nor will a RH user, or a SuSE user.

*Please* stop turning *everything* into a 'debian r0ck5! RH suc|<5' message, it
is wearing a little thin.  Next time I see you quoting apt-cache search, I
think I'm going to throw my comptuer out of the window.

It's a nice day, I think we should all leave our computers alone, and go have a
BBQ.
