I think the category of "Crazy" means it surpasses "Advanced" and therefore should be considered a compliment or an indication of reverence.

I think the term used in polite company is eccentric, though I could see some wanting crazy as a badge of honor.

| I'm surprised OpenSUSE is considered "intermediate"; I recommend that to all my family members who want something that "just works" because they never call me with issues. |

| The editors probably looked at the logos. Then Gentoo was "Larry the cow"... |

It's your own distro, your way.
If it breaks your purchase price will be refunded or you can keep the pieces.
