[ale] linus doesn't like Debian?

[Paul Cartwright]

I was reading this article on Linus Torvalds:
http://apcmag.com/7017/linus_torvalds_talks_future_of_linux_page_3
and he says this:
So right now I happen to run Fedora on my machines, which largely came about 
from me running on POWER for a few years, and Fedora supported it pretty well 
(and since I actually don't care that deeply about the distribution, I tend 
to prefer running the same thing on everything, just to keep any distro 
issues away).

Before Fedora had PowerPC support, I ran YDL for a while, and before that I 
had SuSE. Funnily enough, the only distributions I tend to refuse to touch 
are the "technical" ones, so I've never run Debian, because as far as I'm 
concerned, the whole and only point of a distribution is to make it easy to 
install (so that I can then get to the part I care about, namely the kernel), 
so Debian or one of the "compile everything by hand" ones simply weren't 
interesting to me. 
------------------------------------------------
Compile everything by hand??? other than the .deb vs rpm, I don't see that 
much difference between Ubuntu & SUSE.. or is it me..
