I use Debian on my desktop computer,I have been exclusively using Debian for 4 years now, and never found it hard to install or configure.I use a mix of free and non-free software, and have made those choices to fully make use of the abilities of my hardware and video card (Nvidia).Which is the main reason for using linux and Debian, I can exercise my right to choose what I want to run and when I want to run it on my computer.Debian actually is (despite what people think ) very easy to configure and works with multimedia very well.

If Microsoft buys Yahoo I'll be one of the users that will leave for good.I've had an account at yahoo for years-my isp is partnered with them (Rogers in Canada). Microsoft will screw it up just like they did with Hotmail. Plus what about the open-source projects and developers at Yahoo? I can imagine they'll run like hell too.
Is the U.S. no longer the home of the brave and the land of the free? Is it sliding down the slope towards dictatorship? It's a scary thought when these people are one of the most powerful and influential nations on earth.
When will the Ubuntu crowd come to their senses and finally understand that they are in fact running a DEBIAN system? I have used both on my home computer and have actually found pure Debian to be a little faster all around.Yes you have to manually configure some files and do a couple of things in the shell but it really teaches you how to administer a system and you can pare down the o/s to what you actually need--less bloat.Either way both are fun to use.
What a feeling of relief as I went back to Demonoid,logged into my account and found all my info there! Living in Canada and being blocked from entering a site that was hosted in my own hometown-------very frustrating.Up Yours RIAA.
Let's just say for arguments sake that scientists eventually perfect artificial intelligence in a computer or network of computers.at the conclusion of the experiment they pull the plug, would that be in effect the murder of a sentient being? Would legislation be enacted to protect intelligences in "virtual worlds"??
Damn No more setting fire to the Sims characters.
The real reason the recording industry is against p2p is that they are slowly losing their hold on the artists and the medium to get the music to the consumers.Their biggest fear is the thought of an artist producing his/her own music,(or video) offering it for free over p2p to create interest and a following then going on tour and getting all the money generated for him/herself.No nice little contract for the recording industry where they swallow all profits and the artist starves, no royalties or copyright control for them either.If the music were played on radio ( or other media) royalty payments could go directly to the artist.The industry as a whole can see it's demise if p2p allowed to flourish without opposition.

This is one reason why I refuse to use any Microsoft product! exactly right------F.U. Microsoft Go Ron Paul
I would rather masturbate to my lovely shapely Debian Linux than be a Microsoft pervert/jackoff
