[Imc-tech] Debian strikes again

[Paul Riismandel]

Thanks for diving into this Dave.  Perhaps we may want to rethink our 
commitment to Debian if it is such a nightmare to install?  I'm down with 
their ideology, but I'm not certain we have the time and effort for it.

Are there other distros we should consider?

Comments?
