There are enough people on here to where Ubuntu or Kubuntu are probably good options for getting mailing list support. I was just venting a bit about the non-standard stuff and hoping that people would keep the docs issue in perspective. Really, nearly _any_ Unix/Linux is a good thing to move to, whether it follows some generally accepted standard for commands/administration methods or not. Stick with what you've got if it's working. There's plenty of time later to get opinionated as to what's the best Linux. I've had a few years to do it myself (like nearly 15). ;-) -- Curt, WE7U.
