At our local Linux user group (http://www.euglug.org) , I've been recommending our more 'power user' members switch to Debian, extolling the joy and virtue of apt, dpkg, etc. For newbie users, Mandrake and it's ilk still provide a simple quick start to Linux, but the more experienced hands should be shown 'the one true way' as I like to joke (half seriously)
Yesterday, I got an email from one of them, which said: > Speaking of Debian, it somehow first infected my laptop, then it wormed > its way onto my system at work, and last night I noticed it infected my > home desktop workstation. D'oh!!! A better compliment cannot be found, I'm sure. (grin) [btw, is there a better list than curiosa to send this too? The archive for curiosa is almost empty, so I decided a cc: to project wasn't out of line, if only to remind people about the curiosa list...)
