Debian Linux, of course, is the best distribution :). But I really do believe that or I wouldn't be using it.
This can get a silly as an o/s flame war. However, I think in some ways this topic is not discussed enough. I think that if you are going to have this discussion 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, but 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 overall 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 points - and where it excells provides the user with a role that particular distribution can provide. I have found a great use for every distribution I have encountered and they're all good. ANY of the Linux distributions makes an excellent choice. (see <A HREF="http://www.linux.org"><A HREF="http://www.linux.org</A">http://www.linux.org check the distributions page) It's not a spoon fed world like Microsloth, and a good Unix/Linux user will make 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 subscriber. Keep these people in business. Linux is an emerging market and we need to support all of the distributors as best we can. Stay with a distributor who is providing 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!
