Every few months or so, I get the urge to dual-boot with Debian, and I've done it a few times. But I never keep it for long. Why?

Anyway, it's gone again, and I believe I've finally lost all interest in dual-booting and distrohopping (except, possibly, for LFS sometime). I'll stick solely to Slackware. I've never said any other distro was bad, only that they didn't suit me....
