Probably... but when _did_ Google become Evil?  There are things I don't 
want to do with Google, but I'm not prepared to brand them as evil, yet.  
There are also a whole lot of things I _love_ to do with Google.

Well, duh :-)  I started using Debian when it became obvious Corel Linux was 
somewhat deader than the Dodo. I never really had a problem with Debian, but 
when Ubuntu showed up, I switched immediately, because it brought back the 
ease of installation that Corel had (and a better release cycle than Debian, 
which had been trying to release Sarge for what seems like 3 years).
