Views from an Red Hat -> Ubuntu -> Fedora migrator

[William Park]

All these years attempting to try out Debian, I've never gone
past installation.  I mean,
    - boot install DVD
    - install Debian and GRUB to a spare partition (/dev/sdj10)

    - reboot
Nothing.  So,
    - boot "rescue disk"
    - run"grub-install --force /dev/sdj10"

    - reboot
Still nothing.


The only way I can actually run Debian is to install in VM and
put GRUB in MBR.  If I want to try out new kernel (like, better
wireless support), it's way easier to compile/install/remove
in Slackware than in Debian/Redhat family.  The only thing
about Slackware package is that it doesn't do dependency check.
This is ok by me.
