I considered reviewing Debian for this article. I downloaded a copy of Debian 3.0r2, making sure to get the disk with the 2.4 kernel. Everything you've heard about Debian being difficult to install? It's not totally true, but it's pretty close. I really wanted to try Debian, though, if only to use the vaunted apt-get system. I'd tried apt-rpm on a previous Red Hat installation, and it was great. Since Debian was turning out to be too difficult to put together, I decided to look for a debian-based distro.

"I'm a Windows system administrator at work"
So the truth comes out now, eh? You're "a Windows loser... I mean user" yourself, you hypocrite.
"As far as not being qualified to judge Windows tools..."
Hah! You didn't even know that Partition Magic doesn't require Windows (a fact that was even mentioned in the review!) and yet you still considered yourself qualified to talk about its feature set in comparison to Linux partitioning tools. You've berated the reviewer for not knowing being suitably proficient with regards to his subject matter, yet you're guilty of have done the exact same thing yourself repeatedly in this very thread.
