Hey, your distro sucks!

“Folks tried to spar with me at SCaLE last month, but I blew
them off — different strokes for different folks. This issue,
however, actually came to a head when Red Hat’s Karsten Wade and I
were getting dinner to take on the road on Sunday evening and I was
confronted by one of the dogmatards whom I had spoken to earlier in
the day. Not being in the mood for hearing an additional litany of
what was wrong with Fedora, I just nodded and shrugged while being
“schooled” about what was lacking in the distro. But Karsten took a
more proactive approach, which was described by Karsten’s response
to an item in the previous blog post.

“Now the reason I brought up Felton: I’m primarily a
Fedora user and prefer Fedora over the rest of those mentioned in
the first paragraph. However I use the other distros mentioned
above. I’m also game to try others; the history of this blog bears
me out — google “eight distros a week” and see what you get. Some
of the machines here run GNOME, some KDE, some Xfce, and one on
Fluxbox. I’m not an expert at any of them, nor am I married to any
of them.”
