  Yet you just did.

  Yah, if you really want to get into the nerdwar, I've had far more
problems with "apt-get upgrade" on Debian than I have with "yum
upgrade" on Fedora.  Clearly my personal anecdotal experience trumps
your personal anecdotal experience.  Neener, neener.

  Whoop-dee-do.  They weren't at NHTI.  What happens elsewhere doesn't
help us at all.  Put your money where you mouth is and get involved,
or sit back and be quiet.

  I'm really freaking tired of all the Debian zealots who never miss
an opportunity to tell us how great Debian is, but are silent when it
comes to actually contributing.  Put up or shut up.
