This is getting to be an interesting thread. I can see what you are talking about Ken about distro-bashing. But Roy brings up a good point: Where are the distros that just work? I am finishing up a TDY 6 months away from home. I came out with my 2 year old laptop with Win 7 and Backtrack dual booting. I removed backtrack and installed my favorite distro (Mandriva which I use at home on several computers). The speed and reliability of Mandriva were not present on my laptop, and made me seriously reconsider why I used it in the first place. I tried several other popular distros, SuSe, Ubuntu, etc, but I just couldn't get the performance I wanted from any of them.
I know Ubuntu is Debian based, but they seem to be two different beasts. In the case of Markas, Roy, myself, and tons of other users searching for a new distro, which ones are the ones that just work? Jeremiah E.
