Linspire It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

It doesn't matter that your rating system was biased. You stated that this review is really only for yourself, after all, so it *should* be biased. The problem is that you didn't give weight to the pluses and minuses. Creating a CNR system that doesn't completely crap out on you is pretty important, moreso than being able to recognize the titles from an obscure CD album. I've never used debian, but from my experiences, I have to dip into rpm's regularly as well as other methods. There's no one distribution that fits everything. That's part of the beauty of linux, and also part of its annoyances. Overcoming an installation is not that important (you got vga to work). Not overcoming a hardware installation would be *extremely* important (if you didn't get vga to work)... in fact, arguably, if you couldn't overcome the vga problem, you wouldn't be able to do anything else. see? weight? importance?
