watch for heresay

[Rodney Clowdus]

Yep Kirk Wood  you hit it right on the money.  Linux is linux regardless
of distro.  If someone does not learn to use the command line and the text
driven configuration files they will never learn Linux regardless of
distro used.  I agree though that some may be easier for beginners to
install than others but once someone learn the ropes it really does not
make much difference which distro to used.  I have yet to see a graphics
program for Linux that allows me complete control of the configuration
files.  More often than not the direct approach is the simplest and the
easiest method to fix a problem or to configure a device.  I have used
Suse, Redhat, Caldera, Slackware, and Debian.  Linux is linux is linux is
linux.  It's dirty work learning how to configure Linux but it's the only
way to go if you want your computer to run like you think it's suppose to
instead of being locked into someone elses fancy electronic cookbook
mentality proprietor.  Long as I can open the hood, grab a wrench and work
on the engine I could care less about the label on the body.
