Well, a fun time (one week), sweating it up to make my ATI and Wifi work
in Lenny AMD64 but nothing. With old fedora wifi works from the live cd
and ATI with the update. No need even to try it with my dell or my
Aspireone. So byebye Debian.

FWIW, my ati works out of the box with debian. The 'enhanced' binary
drivers of ATI are a bit of a pain, but that's ATI's problem not debian's.

I found on lenny many of the bugs and troubles found in Fedora 8 and 9,
which all today are old history. Why losing time? Cant' understand.
Lenny is a nice white-haired rookie (altough older than fedora), apt is
nice, directory structures and config files are better than fedora, but
I hardly find Debian a stable distro.

What do you think would be a stable distro? I don't think that fedora is
more stable than debian stable.

Pulling her to further limits
causes a quick breakage. I find hard fedora reporting a segfault, like
lenny gave yestarday on networks-admin gui. Why the battery indicator
suddenly dissapeared, being the panel thingy active? Why it takes so
long to boot -sometimes-?

I guess you just had some bad luck with messing with different
configurations. For me debian works near to perfect with out much
configuration out of the box.

From what you wrote I guess you just tried to mess too much and too
impatiently with a distro unfamiliar to you. You end up prefering the
one you are used to. No big deal.

Farewell, debian. Thanks everybody.

Good luck with your choice. We are all in for the freedom of choice and
that includes the choice to try software and choose to use a different one.

It would have been nicer, though, if you had just found a constructive
way of solving your problems instead of just an unconstructive rant.

Cheers,
Johannes
