Isn't it great that the Linux community can build camps around distros, bad mouth other distros and talk about how there's is the best and why???
Over in the MS OS community that I just left two weeks ago, there's none of this talk because... there's no choice. Rory P.S. Make no mistake about it - the distro that is the most user-friendly (MDK still has a long way to go - sorry, but I've been involved in UI development, ease of use and navigation for software and see the shortfalls of MDK as a new user), the easiest to update (read: no need for command lines for those who choose not to use them-MDK is close) and the easiest to install new programs on (read: getting rid of dependency issues. Download, click and install. End of story.) will champion the Linux community in a way that those "difficult distros" and those snobby Linux insiders will never be able to do. Why? Because that will be the distro that finally gives those MS OS users the choice to leave, try a new OS for the first time in their lives and join a community that is free to argue over the code and implementation of code it is allowed to see, change and make their own. > That is a response I got in the shorewall list. I hate it. In fact, I have > been getting those kind of views from many people in the Linux community > when they found out that I use Mandrake.
