She knows the Unix command line and, in her previous life, was a sysadmin for a Linux-based Web server. However, she has better things to do with her time than optimize her system to be as 31337 as possible. (So do I, but for some reason I occasionally succumb to the urge....) I'm tempted to switch my own laptop from Debian stable to Ubuntu, but that's my own toy, and if I end up spending the a whole week with an unusable system while I suss out some obscure issue with X or Wi-Fi configuration, that's my problem. I don't want to switch the distribution running on *her* machine unless there's a compelling reason to do so. -- "If John Kerry was the last best hope for the Republic ... then maybe it wasn't worth saving in the first place.
