[lug] Debian is better?

/me thinks debian is overrated.

Every debian install I have ever tried required additional tweaking to 
1) install netdrivers
2) install X
3) configure X

Mandrake was a breeze. Whiz-boom-bah there it is! So was Redhat (well, not v 
5.0)
Gentoo was a fun install. Knoppix you dont have to install because it runs 
from a cd. (although if you want debian. I would recommend installing a 
knoppix to a drive.)

apt-get/dselect is a rather arcane way of installing stuff. I prefer rpm's or 
gentoo's portage system.

I have found most debian users are hype kings, much like slackware users were.
