Well, 30 minutes into this and everyone has their favorite distro. I was ready to use Koppix 3.2, but it didn't work on the e-machine I have (system is loaded with RH 8.0 so its not like the last time - a bogus bios setting.)
The e-machine is a piece of junk and I don't really use it; maybe I should get off it, stop crying and get back to work with Koppix. I know that RH is Microsoftish and I have noticed them moving the furniture around. Time for some experimenting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of E Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 4:30 PM To: The Eugene Unix and GNU/Linux User Group's mail list Subject: Re: [eug-lug]Jamie, why I'm using RH In my opinion Debian is the linux distro that is best. Granted, I pretty much exclusively use FreeBSD at this point, from all my linux experiences, Debian holds up as tops. The main reason is that debian holds to a standard for each relase. Whereas red hat (for example) will change the location of a particular config file from release to release, debian is more stable and adheres to a standard. Documentation is better too, imo. Where config files are placed might not matter if you're only using the gui X interface for management, but it can be a real pain in the arse if you need to edit them "by hand".
