So, I find that article rather condescending and racist. Just what I
need in the morning -- some liberal telling me I need the welfare state
solely because of my dermal chromatics.
Oh well, that's basically my ongoing peeve with the media and how it
categorizes people in general...

Yah, that's the main problem I see with this.

Well, you can run Debian unstable
Excellent - this is exactly the kind of thing I want to hear about. Can
you be more specific about which 3rd party packages were causing

Whoa, I am a hapless end user and PHB. I was thinking of doing a rather
simple intro on how to set CUPS up for printers attached to the local
