Editor's Note: the Quest for the Perfect Desktop Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Naturally, the perfect Linux is different for
| every user. I want something that Terry can use
| without having vexing little problems cropping
| up all the time. It is enough work learning to
| use applications like Audacity, Ardour, Digikam,
| and OpenOffice without also having to babysit a
| colicky Linux. It seems to me that the "noob-
| friendly" distros like Ubuntu, Mandriva, and
| openSUSE start out great, but the more you use
| them the more weird little glitches they
| exhibit. I want something with a reasonable
| degree of sanity, and something I can fix
| without having to untangle mare's nests of
| distro-specific "improvements."
|
| These are my criteria for the perfect desktop
| Linux distro:
|
| * Rolling releases and continual upgrades. I
| think fresh installs with new releases are
| silly and should be done only when it's
| absolutely necessary, like a system that is
| hopelessly messed-up. A good Linux gets
| better with age, it's not like Windows which
| runs down like a cheap wind-up clock.
| * Reasonably fresh package versions
| * Stable
| * Easy to maintain
| * Active dev team and community
