Nice blog. Nice to find a Linux user who's not part of this whole movement to use Ubuntu. I used Debian for about 2 years and got suckered into upgrading to 10.04 -- mostly because it seemed that binaries were easier to find in Ubuntu. Now I'm sorta stuck with it because I'd hate to do a fresh install without backing up my data. Which brings me to my next topic... Thanks for the info about DVD+Rs... I've spent a month wondering what the hell was wrong with my machine. I read halfway down your article and came to where you said that Indian DVD+Rs were not trustworthy. Not only are they not trustworthy, they simply don't do anything when you put them in the drive. They don't load or spin, and when they pretend to write, they don't write either. Maybe an 'antichrist Debian' distro (or even a Subgenius distro) could be a funny way to comment on the whole Ubuntu CE thing.
