Richard, truly, Linux is Linux. The ONLY difference is the "goodies"
shipped with each distribution, including an installation utility.
The "down side" of Linux is it's open source code, allowing those
social misfits to break into a Linux system, however, one of the BEST
things about Linux, is the open source, because fixes are VERY
quick!! NT, for example, has more holes than Swiss cheese, but there
are very few beyond MickySoft who know what they are!!! Linux STILL
is the MOST secure AND stable OS available...period, bar none!!
