Installer, unstable and a bunch of whiners

Introduction to Debian

I've been using Debian GNU/Linux (unstable) for the last 3-4 years and it runs perfectly stable. I update my system almost every day without dependency problems - I have never reinstalled the system from scratch since the package managment (dpkg/apt-get, whatever) takes care of my system and doesn't mess up anything.
The old Debian installer is somewhat technical, but who doesn't like that? I find the old installer much more easy to use than Windows XP's setup. If the only reason for hating Debian is the (soon to be deprecated) text mode installer, you really should just run away.

Debian is the superior distribution!
There will not be problems with the DMCA since that law is non-existant in Germany...
On the other hand, the EU does have the infosoc directive... Don't know about that one.
