Truthfully, I think "distro bickering" may be exactly what Linux
needs to succeed. In a development environment where revenue is
irrelevant, it's really distro bickering which scatters developers across
distributions, bringing out new concepts and projects, and forcing
GNU/Linux as a whole to evolve through unnatural selection.

I know I haven't. Early on I presumed that S.u.S.E. 5.2 was pretty
much RedHat (because of rpm's, really), and because I was installing
S.U.S.E. I'd pretty much installed RedHat. A little later when I was happy
with SuSE, when I tried something newer it was as different as possible,
Slackware or FreeBSD or Debian. The closest I've come to RedHat is
offering up CD's for SuSE to someone at the Ruckus Society's Tech Camp
because his RedHat install wasn't working out. YAST2 detected eveything
and installed without fuss on his laptop, which experience informs me that
SuSE is no longer RedHat, if indeed it ever was.

At the moment, for me, Libranet (OK, Debian) except the Vaio with
SuSE.
