Why I love Debian

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu and Linux Mint are great for new users, but I'm not a new user. I'm 
| not trying to be snobby, and I don't think I'm better than anyone else; I 
| just have different needs than most people. I don't want polish. I want to 
| see and work with the guts of my operating system, because I like to be in 
| total control of my computing experience. I don't like my hand to be held. 
| I'm not extreme about this. I like user-friendly things as long as they don't 
| get in my way, or cover up what I want to see. Debian makes everything as 
| easy as possible without getting in my way, holding my hand, or hiding the 
| details.        
| 
| I also value different things than most people. I don't want the latest bells 
| and whistles, pretty graphics, or fancy features. I want stability and 
| commitment. I hate when vendors take liberties with my computing experience 
| for their own nefarious ends. I hate bugs, crashes, upheavels, insecurity, 
| and having my privacy disrespected. Linux in general tends to be refreshingly 
| free from many of these, but Debian takes it all a step further.
