OMG! I’m using a non-Debian Linux distro!
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the long Memorial Day weekend I decided to do some further Linux
| distro-hopping, and so wiped out my beloved Crunchbang Linux to test the
| following distros...
|
| [...]
|
| The installation was quite beautiful and flawless, with enough options along
| the way to make a Slackware user drool. Mandriva enjoyed the top slot at
| Distrowatch for a long time in the pre-Ubuntu Linux world, and honestly, I
| personally would choose it over Ubuntu, any day of the week. Mandriva is
| great at tweaking the desktop environment to create a thing of beauty. Even
| their implementation of the tray in KDE 4 is not annoying, and I REALLY hate
| the KDE 4 tray. What they have done with LXDE is also very impressive and
| attractive. So far, I’m finding Mandriva 2009 with LXDE very likable —
| attractive and fast.
|
| I think I’ll keep it around a while, and see how it goes.

Why do I like Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| Each distro has it's own appeal to different people. I am not going to make a
| judgment on any distro in this article. Just saying why I Like Debian so
| much.
|
| I like other distros for other reasons and maybe I'll explain those sometime
| in the future. Maybe not.
|
| All I can say is give me a Debian netinstall disk or a base livecd and I'm a
| happy camper.
|
| For me, it just doesn't get better than that.

Debian 5.0 Continues Strong Linux Tradition
,----[ Quote ]
| Version 5 of the Debian GNU/Linux open-source operating system offers the
| same top management tools and processor support that previous versions of the
| Linux operating system have. There also are a host of updates to open-source
| components, and the Linux distribution is still a great fit for servers and a
| solid desktop choice. However, the top reason for upgrading from version 4
| may be the relatively short three-year security fix window, less than the
| coverage time offered with Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux-derived
| CentOS.

Debian Lenny: Returning Home to the Mothership
,----[ Quote ]
| Lenny looks and works just fine on my system, and it is noticeably peppier.
| Maybe that's from using the nv driver; whatever it is, screen redraws and
| moving windows do not have the lag that Kubuntu and Ubuntu do, and scrolling
| Web pages is smoother and faster.
