When it fails on up2date FC2 and 3 and multiple installs of Debian
testing ( updated ), then I don't point the finger at the distro.
You should at least consider so doing.
Debian has got stuck in the mire of political correctness,
..no: Debian is stuck on 'server security and stability' correctness.
Let's not confuse principled use of consistently peer-reviewed OS components, with irrational imposed (non-)use for political purposes (of GNU-denial).
and Fedora is a bleeeding edge experimental dist. RedHat use it to try things out on the 'Linux Community' before committing new things to their Enterprise Server.It's still a commercial-grade, server-oriented distro, and well worth studying.
