APC Magazine: Use the Source, Luke?

[ Thanks to Dan Warne for this link. ]

"This may appear as a bit of a conundrum, or at least the musings of a confused teenage mind in the body of a man in his thirties--but I love source-based distributions: the philosophy, the freedom, the configurability, and the closeness to the operating system one gets when using them.

"I am, primarily, a Gentoo user though I've used more distributions that I care to count ever since Slackware came in floppy images and RedHat had its 'RedHat Redneck' install language--oh for shame RedHat, dropping this in favour of the corporate image? You're no fun anymore...!"
