I have long been a fan of Debian. I switched to Ubuntu because it originally "corrected" my biggest complaints with Debian, namely the over conservative nature which lead to really stale packages and significant lag when compared to upstream. Now it seems that the only Ubuntu worth running is the LTS editions, with the others being nothing more than buggy betas that do not have time to stabilize before they are replaced. I think that I fast coming back to the Debian camp. The reviews made for an interesting read. I do not share most his conclusions (I think he really comes down hard on Fedora, I don't mind yum at all). Also Gentoo does not require you to compile of everything if you don't want to. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
