That is one reason you should never compare one distro with another.
They have their own merits and de-merits.

I pity you Rohit :-) You should seriously get access to a Linux Box
someway or the other. Anyway I do a 'man sync' or you do doesn't make

in the evening :-) So help yourself :-)

There are lots which I cannot as of now expand on :-)

Discussed already. Check the archives. I sometimes wonder how you are
able to live without an internet connection ???  :-)
