Okay, I'll admit I'm a Windows boy, but I've used a slew of Linux distros and got to thinking... what's really the difference between them..? Obviously its the software that comes with it but can't that be installed afterwards? Is it the tweaked window managers that seperate the distros? I know SuSE and Redhat tweak KDE and GNOME and make slap their logos all over each manager. Is it the minimal tweaks in the Linux kernel? I haven't noticed anything big between the distros I've used other than better hardware support in a few distros than others... some may say this is ignorance, some may agree.. but could someone explain what's so different and why everyone boasts so much that one distro is the best? Can't you logically take one distro and just install everything the other distro has?
