I strongly disagree. The point of a genuinely free and open operating system is accessibility at all levels. Debian is more difficult than some other systems not because it is meant for experts, but because of the dedication to the core concepts of FOSS. Or, why the non-free repository is not included in a standard installation source list.

You used Libranet, too? Are you still in touch with Tal? That was my favorite distro EVER. The only real help I ever got was in the Libranet beta testing group, for that last release that never made it because John was so ill.

We don't? It's a lot more idiot proof than Debian.
