sure, but there's got to be a distro out there which doesn't attempt
to carry the user on hands but which gives you linux and a good
selection of GNU while keeping their hands to standards and not
screwing up in various places like SuSE or RedHat does. i like debian
very much, just wondering if there are other ones out there worth a
look at. i don't even know anymore how many linux distros there are...
