Delightful. I like your style, Luke. :-)

And so that I'm on topic, in order of preference:

Debian:  Love it. Bruce Peren's philosophy of freedom herein woven.
Gentoo:  Hated it for a long time. Now I love it.
SUSE:    Helped write a piece of YAST code once, now I like it.
DSL:     Boots from a USB drive. A small one. Very cool.
Knoppix: Beautiful technically and for what it did to Linux.
Vector:  Still trying to get this one running on a 1990s laptop.
Red Hat: No thank you. Technically sweet, politically Seattle.
Kubuntu: No thank you. Technically sweet, politically left coast.

Looking forward to another Slackware experiment. Disappointed
when they adopted the Red Hat version numbering a few years ago.

He knows nothing about Linux.

p.s. JH, you could've just dropped it. You're bringing a flame
war from a previous thread into this one. And if the previous
one degenerated into character attacks, perhaps wisdom is to
leave it be.

Of course, arguing with a programmer is like presenting
yourself as a bug which needs repairing. Sigh. It's why
we're geeks, don't you know? We never let go...
