Viable Linux Destop?

man. people always be like "damn g, that mac os x is fine, i be lovin' that aqua shit"... o' like "mutha fuckin' apt-get be da bomb!"... well i'z be like "yo, mutha fucka, if you be wantin' that shit, then BUY A FUCKING MAC OR JUST INSTALL GODDAMN DEBIAN!"

yes, apt-get rules hard. there is absolutely no fucking doubt about it. so INSTALL IT. mandrake shmandrake, you're gonna wind up installing debian anyway, so do it now and save yourself the time. seriously. as soon as i get my 36 gig u160 cheetah repaired (drive is fine - electronics on it died), i'm installing debian. trust me, you want to do it. as soon as you really play with it, you'll want to stick with it.

i don't call myself an elitist, but there is seriously no reason for computer-savvy persons such as yourself to mess with mandrake. it's a weaker linux, period. and the funny thing? it's HARDER TO MAINTAIN! people always say "debian's hard" - bollocks. yes, i have been into linux since 1996. that doesn't mean i'm RETARDED. mac os - easy to use. debian - NOT HARD. i didn't lose my perspective. you can do it, jaggy. debian. debian. debian. you owe it to yourself. and DO NOT BACK DOWN after a month. man, it took me like probably 3 months to finally kill my windows partition. just keep at it. you have to want to make it work. yeah, gimp isn't as good as photoshop. just make some sacrifices. LET GO.

now i'm starting to sound like tyler durden. i'm going to go eat pizza now. but seriously man. if you want apt-get, install debian. i'll answer all your questions. i promise.

on a side note - my friend locked us out of our server earlier (stuffnet.org - where digipulse & gaveup & whitesquirrel.net and all that shit is hosted). killed ssh. no telnet. so we had no shell. i actually managed to get in without doing any big known exploits. i'll give you a hit - it involved ftp, a little email and an exported display. how did i do it? first one to guess correctly gets a dollar or something.
