Well I'm about to give up on a Debian installation as it just seems to want
to fight me every step of the way. I have burnt hours now trying to get apt-get
to load sources so I can re-build a kernel and get what I want. I went to the
LSB web page to see what distro I could use that 1) MADE SENSE and 2) wasn't
RedHat since RH seems to have adopted MS style marketing strategies. I was
surprised to see that Debian is an LSB member since they seem to do everything
their own way.
I'm fantasizing about a distro that comes with a bootable floppy to install
from and a set of CDs with tar.gz images of source packages so that you could
install a truely generic "GNU/Linux" (let's not get into a flame war over that
name, you know what I mean). I don't want a package manager unless it's bullet
proof; having one that mostly works is worse than not having one at all.
So, what's the group opinion, what's the least specialized distribution ?
I want something that isn't KDE hostile, not dependent on RPM (or apt-get) and
available on CD.
