Thats one hell of a reason I'm on sabayon. In my openion, 1) If you want a stable production environment, go for a distro who give support.(eg: RHEL,CenOS,Debian-stable,Ubuntu-LTS) 2) If you want a stable desktop environment with latest packages, go for any distro who do rolling release. You install once, forget about re-installing. all you need is do a package update once in a month. Its perfectly suitable for developers who don't want to reinstall their hard-to-find-library-packages again-and-again. Besides, it gives you a feel that there is no disturbance in your main focus. (eg: arch, sabayon, gentoo, Debian-testing, LMDE) 3) For newbies or sysadmins who want to explore, go for cutting-edge distros. (eg: ubuntu,fedora,Debian-unstable,LFS) Thanks, Mohan R _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
