Can we have a quick show of hands;

Having installed Debian it seemed to me a lot more closed than Red Hat / Mandrake / SuSE, possibly due to the cultural bias against anything 'impure'. So as a Java programmer I was disappointed to be offered a 5-year old Microsoft-level relic rather than the current Sun version. I'd be interested not so much in the OS installation - that was pretty easy - but more on how to manage and use the system on a day-to-day basis without tools like YAST or DrakConf.
