When was the last time you tried to install Debian? I can't get Windows XP to install on ANY of my new computers without having to search and find drivers for my hardware (my SATA controller etc.), and even then it is a pain in the ass because I don't have a floppy disk drive.
On the other hand SuSE will install in less than 30 minutes if I pop the CD in and hit enter a few times.
Of course YMMV, but of the 9 computers I have heating my apartment none had any problem installing Linux.
Ah the wonders of global communication. Either someones a liar, or this celestial object was truly independently discovered. This would be much easier to sort out if it happened two centuries ago.

Anything other than a drunken sword fight in the dark is alright by me.

Wow, Slashdot really dropped the ball on this one, this news is 13 billion years old.
