Thank you Debian maintainers (Score 4, Informative)

Have just reinstalled Debian after 17 years away from Linux on my home machines. I have to say I'm impressed. It worked on a 2007 MacBook without any messing around. Graphics, sound, fan speed, touchpad, brightness and volume buttons, sleep etc. all worked out of the box. The default desktop looks good. The fact that it's a root distribution and not derived from something else makes it feel solid. I'm liking it. I'm liking it a lot :-)
