You can't hold that belief and be experienced in Linux at the same time. Some Linux distro's are pure crack and ought to never be used. Some are just as un-manageable as Windows and Solaris *cough*Redhat*cough*. Others adhere to sane package management policies that allow sysadmin's to have a beer after work and not dread being called early for some nonsense. All Linux distro's are not created equal. People on this list will (quite rightly) sqruik a distro that they feel does the job best. It's up to the reader to sort the wheat opinions from the chaff opinions. In the case of the distro that originally sparked your comments, perhaps there's a reason why people of some experience and community standing are not only spruiking it but using it in their business and that of their clients. I'm yet to encounter any opinions in SLUG that came from anywhere other than experience so I would not begin to doubt their sincerity, regardless of what distro they promoted or what crack it may seem they were smoking. -- Consider well the proportions of things.
