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?

Debian uses Evolution for the default email access. Initially, I thought I would search the Internet for the setup instructions, and quickly discovered it was pretty much a waste of time. I have another computer that uses Mozilla Thunderbird, so I just translated the settings to Evolution,...
