Linux and it's different models.

I agree, that you can do about the same with all distros - that is what makes them linux. It is basically the implied bloatedness of fedora that sucks. From what I have looked at (and am looking at today) is the two fedora 5 boxes look like they were updated improperly - and no one there admits to starting an update - I would not think that fedora auto updates cross versions?, while the fedora 4 simply has a problem unmouting /sys on boot. not a huge issue, as I am just going to back up and install slack. Stick with what ya know, eh?

And yes, I played with beta Lindows, and can confirm it sucked.

Unne: Sorry, I did not mean to imply that you had though I was badmouthing it, I was just unsure how my lil review was taken Last install on my part of Gentoo was - one year ago? It did go very smoothly and took a bit of headbutting, but overall, I do like gentoo. I actually look at it with about as much respect as slackware, thus my ranking it so high on the list. I actually see Gentoo as being a median between Slackware and more robust packages. Though, slack 10.2 has become a bit more robust in itself.
