I like it because it is Debian enough for my tastes, with solid hardware
support. It recognized my 10/100/1000 Ethernet out of the box, *and* my
IPW2200 wifi card... To me it is aimed more at the desktop crowd. I
prefer to save my brain cycles for getting something big and important
working rather than mucking with constant patching etc.
