Heh, it's been a long time since I've had Debian fail to install on any
hardware for me personally, but that doesn't have as much to do with who I
am as it has to do with the Debian installer team putting together a great
system (which is the same installer that Ubuntu's is based on).

Which is not to say that installing Debian always works on any hardware --
the installer is only going to work on the hardware supported by the kernel,
and for stable releases that can mean the installer is "out of date" with
respect to modern hardware long before the next release comes along -- but
an i965 laptop chipset?  Pff, piece of cake. ;)
