Liam, I think I agree with the poster who said that you seem to be
living in the past. I have no experience with Slackware, Gentoo, or
Arch, but have used Debian *and* Ubuntu on and off for several years.
What was the last time you checked out Debian? At one time you were 
correct in saying that Debian was tough for beginners but, that hasn't 
been true for quite a while. Realizing that this is OT, I'd like to you 
expand (off list if you'd rather) on what you feel it is that makes 
Debian that much harder.

For the record, I'm not necessarily a Debian fanboy, being relatively
distro agnostic.
