This is what I mean: People will get very emotional about distros. There 
will be no consensus. A comparison matrix (no matter what it looks like) 
will not be accepted by all readers on this list. It's like a religion ;-)

Take any distro you like ;---)))))) Or try them all. Last but not least: 
only take the distro *I* recommend ;-)



People only recommend their favorite distro.... Sadly but true. Maybe I 
am no exception.

What about Debian and SuSE users? They seem to be quiet, lately. Perhaps 
because of the fact, that if you *really* use a good distro, you will 
not need to participate in flame wars (excuse me: discussions ;-)
