My last Debian install was smoother and faster than any Windoze install
I've ever done. Debian 7 on a laptop (now six and half years old) is far
and away the best computer system I've ever had. Soon I'll give it a new
2TB HDD and install Debian 8, which will bring it as up to date as it
needs to be for another year or two, while Windoze users shell out
what--1000EUR?--on new hardware to feed Micro$oft's latest tumour, and
keep the spooks and malware breeders distracted.

Living with GNU/Linux is good.
