Is it only on the Alpha and x86 ports?  I just browsed the i386 ports
page, and couldn't find anything that jumped out at me.

That all depends on who you ask.  I use Red Hat almost exclusively.  I
managed to get Debian installed once, and left it installed, because
it's installer is a total bitch to use.  I suppose I could be slightly
biased, in that some of my best friends work for Red Hat, but almost
none work on Debian.  :)  There are other alternatives, but none worth
mentioning, IMHO.  (Don't even say slackware, I'll kick your ass)
