Thanks for pointing this out and I must apologize if I offended any
other Debian users, especially being a Debian user myself.
I recognize my previous comments on Debianites were prejudicious and I
too fell into the passionate trap, but it really annoys me when people
put other stuff down with a myopic view, and this I have found very
typical of many a Debian folk, nevertheless it's unfair to judge all
Debian users.

Looks very interesting indeed, will give a shot later in the year! I'm
not a big fan of ZFS though.

Perhaps, this supports my basic underlying argument in this thread and
that is to aggregate, not segregate.

Thanks!
