It in fact requires quite a bit of experience if you want to get a number of packages working.
For instance, the Apache installer, and the mod_php installer through apt worked great, however apt did not set up the handler right for php files. Netfs was another application, that while it did come pre-installed, it was lacking a few of the programs that are required to make it work properly. Portmap being one of them, as was nfs-utils for rpc.
That being said the speed, and cleanliness of the distro more than outweighed the minor inconveniences in my opinion. I also do recommend this distro to anyone that much like me, learns a lot better when you need to get something working, rather than when it would 'just be nice'. I would have learned a lot more when I was just learning linux if the distro forced me into these steps. Whereas Red Hat 3.0 walked you through everything.
