Good fucking christ. There are enough linux distributions out there.
There are only three important questions when considering any distribution:
1. does it support my hardware natively, or do I have to fuck with it
2. is it's kernel revision stable
3. can I live with whatever package/update system it has
If the answer isnt a resounding, glorious "yes" to each one of these,
then USE SOMETHING ELSE. And if that something isn't linux, that's cool.
