Greetings everyone,
It is getting close to the time when I do my semi-annual update of the Mid
Willamette Valley LUG web pages. I was thinking of adding a section reviewing
the various Linux distributions. If any of you would like to write a short
paragraph (or even just a few sentences) stating why you choose whatever Linux
distribution you use I would appreciate it.
For example, my own entry will probably go something like:
Back in 1995 when I first started getting interested in Linux, Slackware was
the only distribution carried by the local software store that I frequented.
Since then I have stayed with Slackware partly because it is what I am used
to and partly because of its reputation for rock-solid stability.
Because Slackware is a little less polished than some of the other
distributions it is a great learning tool. If you just want to run Linux,
Redhat or SuSE are great distributions. If you want to get your hands dirty
and learn how and why things work on a Unix-like OS, then get Slackware.
