[NTLUG:Discuss] Distro Advice

[Ralph Green]

Howdy,
  I try a lot of distros and I keep coming back to debian based distos
for my most important machines.  They work better for multimedia.
But, the most imporant hing is that I don't have to keep installing
the OS every few months.  Fedora almost works well enough for me.  By
a few months after I install it and have it operating well, a new
version comes out.  And, Fedora does not upgrade well.  You are
expected to reinstall it and then start he tweaking process all over.
Now, maybe I have misundertood something and I will get advice on how
to keep the Fedora machine humming along.  I almost always have a
Fedora machine running.  It just has not been good enough to make it
to my main computer because of the upgrade issue.
  I hardly ever have a computer newer that a couple f years old.  So,
drivers have not been an issue for me for years with any major distro.
Good day,
Ralph
