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.

Only on Linux land is a blow by blow INSTALL labelled as a "review". Aren't we tired of reading about geekified Linux installers.
To pen a review for laptops and FAIL to mention that sleep doesn't work is pathetic journalism. Without sleep no Linux is practical on a laptop.
None of the Linux distros do sleep! XP is the only practical solution.
Lindows.com makes a laptop edition which might do sleep but Linux bigots always ignore it.
