I find it to be a real PITA to have one conversation, such as at a LUG, when people are throwing in a zillion differrent really obscure distros often basically just to be smug, superior, or weird. From my perspective, Red Hat's battle is really uphill as it is, in a world of bad proprietary software, and too much fragmentation makes no sense to me. Also I am studying for the RHCE and I don't want to get sidetracked into too many differrent directions with other distros and their subtleties. Having said that, I do like some distros for some limited purposes. For hard disk analysis, forensic etc. I prefer Knoppix since it is cd based. If I want a debian based box I just run knoppix-installer. [ Mental note: look into cd based red hat type distros ? ] I guess if I was into cruddy hardware I would run those 'tiny' distros but I have found that to be of little use except during the most dire of circumstances. SuSE has a nice interface, but I agree, it is kinda weird to get used to. Basically I am getting what I need out of Fedora, _MOST_ of the time. Also I run a test type environment here where I am always playing with and changing stuff, and Fedora is conducive to that. I learn a ton of things just seeing the issues that others have on these lists, as well as seeing how the gurus fix them. Marc
