Thanks for your report, I'm sure folks (myself included) find your
notes useful.
However, myself I am not much interested in how the installations go
(after a bit of sweat one can get most stuff working, that's the Linux/Unix
way), but rather how good are these distros wrt working with them (daily!)
for many months.
I understand that is too much to ask: but if you could even speculate
(not necessarily now) on the long-term maintanence, upgradability, ease
of adding 3rd party programs, compatibility, etc, I'd find that very
useful.
I sense myself wanting to get off of Redhat after using it for the past
3 years, perhaps going to Debian or back to Slack... it would be nice
to hear of the longer-term gotchas of these relative to RH.
Best regards,
Karl Runge
