Distributions *are* the strength of Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| People disagree, some people think that no
| operating system has any need for
| distributions, with all their difference and
| their central repositories that arenât as
| central. But one of the thing that impress
| most the users who switch is, in many cases
| (at least that I could look at myself) the
| presence of distributions and the ability to
| install almost any software by simply
| looking it up in the package manager.

The Psychology Of A Distrohopper
,----[ Quote ]
| Actually, I shouldnât say âtheirâ mentality
| as I must confess that I too am a
| distrohopper. I started out ages ago playing
| with different Linux distributions and just
| kept right on going with it. To this day I
| get excited when I see that a particular
| distro has a new release coming out. I
| usually canât wait to get my hands on it to
| test it and see what great new stuff is in
| it.

Of Making Many Distros (or Remixes) There Is No End
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are thinking about getting Linux on your computer,
| here's some advice: Look for a distro that has a strong online
| community and either a long history or a company backing it.
| The following are some good distros to check out:
|
| Ubuntu
|
| Debian
|
| Fedora
|
| Mandriva
|
| openSUSE
|
| It's no secret that I'm a fan of Ubuntu (it comes in five
| flavors!). If you really are new to Linux, I don't think you
| will find an easier distro to learn or a better community to
| support it, though someone will likely disagree with me on this
| point in favor of their favorite distro. That's fine. Just try
| out the live CD of whichever distro you are considering and
| reach your own conclusions.
