Ken, I've used Icepack, my personal favorite, unfortunately the distro is extremely dormant :(. I liked it because it was simple, and technically my first real linux distro experience! I've used Mandrake, for 10 minutes. Then I decided I didn't like it and moved onto . . . Debian-woody, then Debian-sarge. Didn't understand it at first, but I liked the stability, usability and simplicity. <flame>Intimidated, I switched to Fedora Core 2, which was the worst mistake I had ever made. Fedora sucks, it's extremely unstable, crashed several times on me, was very confusing to configure, the firewall was awful, and the GUI! Gag! Yuck! Gross! I hated that Red Hat! </flame> My biggest decision-maker was this: I'm a recording artist, and I needed the low-latency patched 2.4 kernel, because 2.6 just wasn't going to cut it. I needed a distro that was current with all of its software, and was still using the 2.4 kernel. Debian was it, I'm hooked, and I love it! I miss Icepack, (the boot CD is now unreadable) but I think Debian is it. I love the package management system much better than rpm. As an end-user, non-developer, the Debian Package Management System was easier to understand that RPM. I'm using it regularly, now. Now as to the "enhanced" libraries that Fedora prepares, they are Big Brother if they think they are going to control how I run my system. :P Cheers, Justin
