Well, sorry for the essay, that somehow got a lot longer than it was
supposed to. That might have something to do with the two trashed Mac

and I *loathe* everything Apple, which is probably why I've spent most
of my afternoon prevaricating on mailing lists rather than working.

The sentiment is shared, Debian is definitely the "least loathed"
perhaps we've been doing this too long.

What I find irritating is the insistence on people using Red Hat and the insistence of software venduh's only supporting Red Hat. I recently had to install FlexLM on a Debian server... Didn't work as RH are now dicking about with basic libraries making them non portable without some fiddling (linking ld-lsb to ld-linux)
