Greetings,
Back in the day, when I first installed Bo, it MADE me LEARN about Linux
instead of just blindly throwing something on my computer so that I could
chime in, be hip, and run Linux. I love the testing branch (apt is a God
send here), I am pleased with the fact that Debian offers more ports than
anyone else I've seen (not just i386, but arm, sparc, m68k, ia64, etc.). I
really have to stress the education part. When I install GNU/Linux, I know
why I put things where I do, and why I don't put things where I shouldn't.
Almost any (choose your expletive here) can install a Microsoft product and
almost any (same expletive here) can install Red Hat. Think people, don't
just follow a fad.
Here endeth my opinion,
Brooks
