I am under an impression but I am not going to put up to auction my Linux years :-) I spent a lot of time with different rpm distributions (now I know it was to much) and I decided to stay on Debian because I am *not* a masochist. I expect from any Linux distribution (not just Linux as OS - you mixed up distributions with systems) to be "easy to mantain and update" so Debian it's my preffered choice. And I can "pay" very small price for installation tools without artistic-graphics-widgets. > Most people on this list seem to think that Debian is worth perservering with. I don't think I you can represent "most people on this list" in this area. Of course, I respect your opinion as your personal. Regards Mariusz
