Re: [Nolug] Distro suggestions

Was't Hitler a socialist?

(Hello, Mikey!)

Ok, that wasn't fair ;-)

On a related note, I posted a timely troll to slashdot the other day:

...only I was being serious. I can't stomach elitism when it comes to distros.

I can sympathize with the zealots on this issue; however, I get highly
irritated when *some* make comments insinuating that I'm selling out because
I choose to run something else besides the One True Distro (be that a Linux
distro, or a *BSD). I preach against the Evil Empire, I advocate the use of
OSS whenever possible.. I even started a company marketing Linux over Windows
(probably too strongly for some people's tastes, but hey, it's my company).

I'm a Believer, I've got the credentials to prove it. I'm not one of those
wild religious fanatics, though (I'm still speaking about computers here, in
case anyone's getting worried). I think some people have a tendency to lose
sight of reality now and then.
