Before, here's part I .
Don't get me wrong. I don't think Debian is hard __at_all__.
By far, Debian is one of the best GNU/Linux distribution in simplifying life of its users.
What I mean is like this, in Debian, I can do many things much easily/confidently than in Ubuntu. Like auto-configuration of network, for example. In debian, I can just do `apt-get install laptop-net`, edit some configuration files, and 'Bismillah', I get network auto-configuration, which is very important for travelling laptop user like me.
Sure I can do the same in Ubuntu, but it just felt not right. With much of its customization, like the great job they done for power management, these kinds of things should've also at least been made simpler to configure, if not zero-configuration.
Even power management in Ubuntu still has some flaws, like hibernation that takes too long. This, I suspect because they are using in-kernel swsusp instead of the still out-kernel suspend2 which, by my experience, is faster and quite stable. I don't have a problem with this, if Ubuntu also provide ways to change to suspend2 easily. By now, I don't think Ubuntu provide this (and other kernel-related tweaking). Please CMIIW.
Can I just get the best of both worlds? (The most updated (desktop) packages in Ubuntu, with the ease of tweaking in Debian)
may be continued ...

Kapan ya, Rief gw bisa ngerti dalem-dalemnya kernel kayak loe gini? :( :p
ada dua hal,
pertama,
kita yang gak ngerti gini, sebetulnya cukup ngerti juga,
dan, yang lebih penting, gak selalu kita harus ngerti2 banget,
yang penting, betulan dech, gimana cara ngejual kernel yang udah baik itu, dan menjadi duit yang baik juga,
kedua,
yang kita anggap ngerti pun, kadang gak sengerti yang kita kira,
tapi selalu ada howto untuk kita lebih ngerti
