    Distro vs Distro

    Hi all!

    I believe that many of you have tried at leat few different distros, and many of you have had disappointments and excitments...

    Mandrake for me was like a toy... very childish, and can't make me to believe or get the trust as an oprtating system...

    Fedora Core - last century... can't even customize your browser... Good for a server, but not as a desktop...

    SuSE - the best creature ever made... Universal and beatiful... (didn't mean the animal)

    Any more ideas, complains, sugestions or compliments?

    Huh? Perhaps you should spend more time in your desktop enviornment's control center.

    Different distributions exist to appeal to different audiences. Try out as many as you can and eventually one will strike your fancy. I don't think a "XXX vs YYY" thread is a good idea, as it can lead to flames. Locked.
