Red Hat decided to remove the MP3 libs from 7.3.  They also made changes to KDE that I didn't like and felt were completely unwarranted.  Also Linuxconf, the old configuration "center" for Linux, was removed.  These were the top three which got me going against Red Hat.  After I saw Red Hat 9 and everything that had been changed, I decided I'd go looking for another distro.  Simply put, Red Hat's changes made me uncomfortable with the system as THEY saw it so I decided I wouldn't use their distro any longer.

Here are some of my beefs with other distros:
1) Ubuntu defaults to GNOME which I can't stand.
2) Fedora has some sort of license OTHER than the GPL.
3) SuSE seems OK but I've just not gotten around to trying it.
4) Damn Small is too lightweight for me.
5) I've not really looked into Gentoo but I like the premise of compiling the whole system from scratch.

For me, Debian Unstable is the best fit.  I can usually fix any problems and everything just works right the first time (usually...)

I'm not poising to disagree, but I am wondering if you could elaborate on that "whole flap"?    ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
