Comment Which distro ? *so what* (Score 1) 252

You know, I kinda glanced and read a few posts on this thread, and started saying to myself, wha'ts the big deal ? Everyone has their own preferences in life, its the same with linux. For one reason or another we find this/that distro to be more user friendly/installable/configurable, etc. The diversity of linux is a good thing, imo. Im a total linux newbie, I switched (built separate box actually for it) over this last december, mainly to learn a new OS that I think is going to be the wave of the future. I dont care who's bigger/better, I think every distribution is donating stuff in some way. I think this is what makes linux kick ass and be as stable as hell. So lets not bitch too much about who's bigger/better, find your favorite flavor and learn it. As a whole, linux is the better OS and we all know it. Got a spare computer ? Put linux on it and give it to a friend for www and email and wordprocessing (wordperfect8 - you do risk becoming permanent tech support tho :/) . That will spread linux like nothing else can.

Im sorry, but my thoughts are really wandering here (beer), but all im trying to say is linux in general will benefit from what each distro will/is contributing, and I dont think any one distro will become the next M$, becuase of the public liscense.
