I’ve never been a big fan of rpm-based Gnu/Linux distributions, since I’ve always preferred the stability of Debian and Debian based distros, with their great dpkg system. The problem with Debian on Macbooks is that I do not see both the stability and performance anymore, as I have to use Lenny/Sid. Etch is too old …

After about 5 months of separation from my preferred operating system, the discontent brought by Mac Os X led me to a re-born love with Gnu/Linux.
