I can concur with those statements. Pardon my misunderstanding.

I have to admit that I haven't tried out anything other than Debian and Mandrake. I have boycotted RedHat, because I take issue to the way the are second-stringing KDE. I have used SuSE in the past and have liked it immensely, but not...
