It's not that hard. It's just a personal gripe when I encounter this setup.

Also a personal gripe when I can't get sites used by normal human
beings (nfl.com, youtube, movie trailers, etc.) to work out of the
box. Social contract uberalles is not my position.

Also a personal gripe when I encounter a default setup for the
browsers using xine which has never worked for me, and even more of a
gripe when it takes some screwing around to get mplayer into the mix.

Also a personal gripe when the printer setup doesn't work for a
networked printer (no hints for the url setup, etc.).

And, of course, as mentioned earlier, I can't believe that no one at
Debian actually tested the ability to boot additional distros from
their grub2 setup. If a distro doesn't play well in the playground
with others, I just cross it off my list.

I love what Debian has done for linux over the years, but I have no
time for Debian absolutism.

I've already torn down the setup and moved on, so it won't be possible
to enter trouble reports.
