All Linuxes are broken. Debian is the least broken.
And, Chris, I agree with that quote you posted about Ubuntu.
A lot of people have this arrogant view that if they install Linux and use it for their day-to-day tasks then they're a guru. Wrong. It's just an alternate tool to what the majority uses. It also just happens to be free. Big deal. Most people who buy computers/notebooks get an OEM copy of Windows with their machine which is factored into the cost of the system. In a way, it is also free, as you wouldn't really give it a second thought. That, or they source it through alternate means such as peer-to-peer networks (BitTorrent).
I, too, have tried various flavours of Linux and *BSD (Red Hat 5.x, Debian, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD (4.x)) over time. I try and use OpenSolaris wherever I can, as it is somewhat aligned with what I do for a crust, but Windows XP has been great for me for Photoshop, IRIS and other graphics applications.
I look forward to joining the Mac bandwagon, soon. :~)

Humayun
