Sorry, that isn't what I meant.  I mean that it should not become the
type of "You suck for using xxxxx", "Distro xxxx sucks and should nevber
be used", or somthing of that nature.  Of course we are going to discuss
different Distros and what problems are had with each one, I just don't
think it should be taken it to the extent that somone says one Distro is
_always_ better than _all_ others, reguardless.  I started using Debian,
then Slackware, now I use RH almost exclusively.  The Distro doesn't
really matter to me because I always install only what is necessary
(very minimal) and customize from there.  I just like RH and RPM.  I
also like SuSE, but choose not to use it at this time.  But I will not
tell spomeone else to not use a particular Distro, I will just recomend
on what I know.

Does that make more sence?
