But I still have the opinion, that people who are
following this
mailinglist and who have a hard time to choose a distro should begin
with experimenting. Patrick Useldinger has already read things about
distros and he has already tried FreeBSD. If you reach a dead point, you
should take *any* distro.
Any distro is not a good choice, it's actually no choice at all.
I believe that it should be possible, with a minimal number of
questions, to point you in a direction that will not frustrate you right
away. If a newbie chooses Gentoo, I am sure he will be lost. A person
who knows things about Linux may be extremely pleased. That could have
been clarified in one simple question. Add a few more, and you're
probably close to a good answer.
If anybody still cares, I've just installed Slackware 10 and I have, for
the first time after FreeBSD, a *very* good feeling. I think I'll like
this one.
Thanks to Patrick Kaell for recommending it.
