Incase any of ya'll care, in my inexperienced opinion. Debian is definitely the best distribution. :). I tried Slackware, which as mentioned, was very difficult to maintain and upgrade, eventually I gave up. I tried RedHat which was easier, but wasn't quite as configurable. Then I tried Debian.... Which has just been great, and i'm going to use it until something better comes out! One thing mentioned in the article was that Linux [supposedly] didn't scale easily, and hence was not very good for enterprise level stuff. Yet, I seem to remember reading in either the linux or debian FAQ that it scaled very well to multiple pentium processors...... What's the real scene with its scalability?
