A few days ago, I got a very sudden urge to install Debian, although I find Linux useless for my purposes. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN???

WACKY ADVENTURES?!
Feeling insecure in your geekdom? Need to step it up a notch (to the notch where you can say “I run linux”)? O.o
But I already dual-boot Trusted Freaking Solaris 10. 🙁
For work, though.
It means you’re ready to drop everything and spend a week or so figuring out how the hell the bootloader and kernel modules and apt-get and whatever apps you want are supposed to work so that you can fix whatever’s making them screw up.
Exactly, that’s what made me not want to do it. I mean, I was like, okay, I put it on a FAT32 drive now I can use LILO but oh I need a Linux partition first but it’s okay because I can do netinst and oh I still need this and that and ARGH OKAY SHUT UP DEBIAN
Get a debian boot disk that has the entire OS compressed on the disc (that you can burn yourself of course) and it decompresses on-the-fly off your disc drive. It’s fun for dicking around.
I actually have a computer running debian, and it’s kind of fun to mess around with. there are some neat features in it, but it certainly seems like I put in a lot more time to get trivial things working in it…
still, I guess it’s good experience
It means you are a linix fag waiting to come out of the closet, thats what.
Debian sucks
wait, so does Lunix. Install FreeBSD instead – it’s about a gazillion times better anyway, plus it just works
