I have. I'm not posting 'cuz I'm angry. I'm posting because to me,
it's interesting to see what people have said about the system and others
like it. I thought others might be interested also, especially after
the discussion we had early in the week about finding/installing packages
and dselect.
I've never tried Slackware or RedHat; someone suggested Debian
to me as 'easy to maintain and upgrade'. I think it is. But to gain a
large distribution and help people accept linux as a viable OS,
sometimes it's useful to listen to the silly ones just to see what
they're saying.
