Thankfully, Debian does not seem to do foolish things with the shell
prompt, as many others do.
s/with the shell/much at all/

Yea, verily, I'm a fan of Debian defaults in general.

Y'know, that would look much smarter if I remembered to include the word
"prompt" in the matching part of my substitution expression.

Curiously enough, when Red Hat dropped Red Hat 10 in favor of Fedora and
some expensive "enterprise" distros, I switched to Debian. I really
liked Debian, although it took them a long time to come out with "sarge"
as a stable product. And I really liked being able to bring up "dselect"
and be a kid in a candy store. Darn near anything I could use or wanted
to learn how to use was in there.

The fly in Debian's ointment was their disdain for Java. A lot of the
things I wanted to run were written in Java. So I went looking around
for another distro and settled on Gentoo, about six months after
switching from Red Hat to Debian.

I don't personally code in Java, nor do I hack on the open-source tools
I use that are written in Java. But in certain application areas
(workstation, not server, in my case) the really good packages are
written in Java.
