    I've been looking at this all day. Some of these are off-the-wall spontaneous ADD or something.

    Ya all I saw was Fedora 10 and that instantly set of 'ooh, ext4 support' in my mind... I've been thinking of trying it on an old machine just for kicks. Haven't tried Fedora in a year or so...

    I am using Debian Lenny right now. I really like Debian a lot. APT is like a template put here by the GODS, just like Unix and C programming language are. Blueprints from which all other forms of life are derived from :D
