Well you've been really helpful, Oberjaeger. I'm glad someone isnt afraid to voice their opinion on the topic... seems everyone else is quiet!
I dont see any "pro-foo, anti-debian flames" commencing... yet.
You completely lost me with talk of RPMs but i'm sure i'll find out what that is soon enough (sucks being new to stuff... but then again it's also a somewhat magickal time... i remember when the internet was new to me... ahh i miss those days!).
As a general rule i've always been weary of software that comes out and quickly puts out a high number of releases.... version 9.0, version 10.0, version 11.9... LoL. So yeah, i know what you mean about Debian 3.0.
I have heard of Knoppix.
Clear text passwords??
Strange placement of files where they shouldn't be? Oh no. Reminds me of my irc scripting days and dealing with buggy chatbots. Say it isn't so!
So far you're the only one with a voice. Anyone else have anything to add or say?
