In the midst of the busy semester here at school, my fiancee's laptop, running Windows XP SP2, picked up some friends - adware, trojans, etc. It was a pretty nasty sight. I worked on it for at least two hours every couple of days, wiping it clean, doing my best to lock it down, and so on. Avast! and Ad-Aware had their limits it seemed, for only a day or so after I cleaned it, pop-ups and weird stuff would show up again. She was getting sick of it. I was getting sick of cleaning it, so I suggested, offhand, installing a different operating system that is a bit more impervious to those nasties. To my surprise, she agreed.

I know it usually works with gentoo (well not on the install-cd), but not all the time. It tends to break during major updates. The switch from 6.8 to 7.0 broke quite a few thing.
And the install-cd doesn't cannot do danish characters right (in the console (same problem on fedora)).

allow me to be so bold as to say, then you do not know how to configure it correctly. i can only say, in slackware both danish and swedish works, as does it in gentoo, and arch. furthermore it also works in ubuntu
