True, you can't blame a distro for a bug in someone elses code (aslong as they produce a new package ASAP) although shipping things like broken C compilers should be punished by drowning ;-)
I am still sore with Mandrake after they shipped an entire distro (which I bought at full retail price) with broken init scripts when I was a newbie, I paid for Mandrake as it was supposed to be easy to use/learn.
how long ago was that, just curious...
Sometime around version 6 I think, I was most p****d off as I had been using Redhat 5.1 or 5.2 which worked fine had grabbed a copy of SuSE which I found to be most confusing (some people love yast, some hate it, I fall into the second group) then you pay 30quid for a nice shiny box set designed for newbies and you get a broken system :-(
