True. There's been way too many flamewars on this subject anyway.
People only recommend their favorite distro.... Sadly
but true. Maybe I
am no exception.
Not true. I personnally don't use SuSE. I still recommend it for
newbies. Some people will be forced to use SuSE because they have
to run some proprietary packaged certified & supported only on
that distro (and perhaps only for a specific version of it).
I happen to have that last problem (with RedHat) at the office.
What about Debian and SuSE users? They seem to be
quiet, lately. Perhaps
because of the fact, that if you *really* use a good distro, you will
not need to participate in flame wars (excuse me: discussions ;-)
No, there's simply no point. Stand above such bullshit. But do
feel free to slam distros that really don't get it (such as Lindows
having all done always by root) ;-)
