It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

"It strikes me that whenever people criticise "Linux", they have often only tried RedHat (or Fedora, sometimes Mandrake), and they usually have a problem that doesn't surface in Debian."
I gave debian a solid three months before going back to Fedora. Fedora has it's share of problems, but I found debian to be too unpolished to use for a desktop/server combo (which is what I do). I spent so much time configuring debian compared to Fedora. I admit, apt is great and all, but for me it didn't come close to being as usable as Fedora. If I were just running a server, I might only run debian, otherwise it's just to much of a chore to setup.
