    Personally, I don't expect perfection, and I don't find it. Debian is far
superior in my experience than any other distro, but I've still sent in maybe
5 bug reports since starting to use it. That's nothing compared to the bug
reports I had for RedHat. Then there's that seething mess of disorganized,
broken packages known as rpmfind.net... I'll stick to the Debian ftp sites. At
least they screen, and have standards.
