[NTLUG:Discuss] Distrib options

[Greg Edwards]

Not saying RHEL derivatives are out.  Mandriva is an RHEL derivative.

I don't like the feel of BSD and way too much BSD only functionality. 
  Linux is VERY POSIX which breeds consistency.  BSD has a reduced 
number of supported tools vs Linux.  BSD is a solid system, just not 
what I'm looking for.
