Horses for courses, Alexandre. I administered PCLOS for a couple of
years for my husband and granddaughter. There were good points, but
I didn't particularly like it long term. Of course, I haven't
actually run it for a while, so I may be out of date, but the same, I
suspect, applies to your experience of Debian.
As I get older, the attraction of a quiet life grows greater. I now
administer four boxen: 3 desktops and one laptop. All four run
Debian 7 and TDE 3.5.13.2. All 4 users/owners are happy.
you got into trouble disparaging pclinux, will be interested to see
how that debate plays out but I'm wholly with you about the 'quiet
life', an operating system should be like a graceful host, after the
introductions they get out of the way so the show can go on. Debian
does that for me.
