Well, I think the main reason I stick around is the comparative ease of use.
-On the business side Some of the companies I deal with are a little skeptical of Linux. Fear of the unknown I suppose. Anyway, they are at least familiar with Red Hat. I tell them that Mdk is very much like RH only (imo) more user friendly. That has more than once, been the deciding factor in letting me bring a box in. I show them that even after I leave, they can continue to easily manage the box. That usually works for the execs. The techs are usually dying to try it out anyway, and it does make an excellent learning platform. This even worked for a company that already had RH. When I showed them the new box, they agreed that it was simpler and easier to use. (I'm not knocking any other distros at all.) -On the personal side I still consider changing now and then. I'm buying a new laptop soon and plan to make that slackware. But for my home/business server, Mdk just does the trick. My desktop is still W2K Pro, and will be till I find something better.
