Oh, I have no problem with your statement. 10 years of experience with 
Linux now, been through lilo, grub and done pxe-grub (take that grub2!) 
for kickstart installations of server clusters. Maybe I should go for 
Debian or go back to Centos. I have not had so many problems with a 
distro like Ubuntu and thinktheyknowitall posters implying that I am 
stupid on the distro list.
