[NTLUG:Discuss] Just want to say

[Russell Lemburg]

Agree.  Ubuntu is a great laptop system and Canonical has given the average
user a way to defeat the bloaty M$oft Virus.  However, for most of my
desktop rigs with RAID and fancy stuff I like SuSE.  It just makes more
sense.  Btw, I was referring to "pure" Debian.  I'm decidedly going with
SuSE for the win.  Ubuntu is never leaving my laptop though.  It's just that
wonderful.
