I think that if you are going to have this discussio= n on the list servs of various Linux distributors, at their expense, I would think= that you would all keep your comments positive and avoid discussions about who has= the best package management system or who has the best installer. Package management, installation routines and update facilities are great, bu= t I haven't seen a distribution yet that excells at all of it. On a positive note= , each distribution is getting better, quality is up, user satisfaction is up overal= l and we can reap the fruits of some quality Linux development going on globally. I have found that each distribution seems to excell on a couple of major poin= ts - and where it excells provides the user with a role that particular distributi= on can provide. I have found a great use for every distribution I have encountered a= nd they're all good. ANY of the Linux distributions makes an excellent choice. (= see http://w= ww.linux.org> check the distributions page) It's not a spoon fed world like Microsloth, and a good Unix/Linux user will m= ake the best effort to wean themselves from that kind of thinking. Get past the learning curve, get over it and support your distributor by becoming a subscr= iber. Keep these people in business. Linux is an emerging market and we need to sup= port all of the distributors as best we can. Stay with a distributor who is provi= ding the kind of support that works for you. The last thing we need in the Linux community is a big pissing contest about distributions. At current prices, you can afford to try ALL of them and still= beat Microsloth!
