I came back. There was nothing like apt to make managing your whole
system easy. Ports did part of it, some apps did it their own way, I
had to keep a list of the others so I remember to upgrade, and some upgrades
cost money. After only a few months with a really great MBP, I was ready
to come home.
Great touchpad and wonderful battery life on those things though.
Wish I could have kept it and installed debian sid on it.
