Which version of Linux to use

[Raiden]

Hey gore

In all fairness, Gentoo works very well at a lot of tasks. If you decide to use this, talk to Shrekkie / Raiden, and get on his good side. He is to Gentoo, what I am to SuSE: An elitist.

Well, I have to admit the following. I have HAD a lot of battles in the past about this, strongly believing in Gentoo and thus defending it with everything I could. Since I have tried alot distros, and I am now using mostly debian, just for the things gore summed up. I even was against debian at that time (there used to be a war between debian /gentoo). How silly it was ...

As I teach linux now in evening school for adults, I tell my students to try out, to experiment with different flavors. It's all up to yourself. What are you comfortable with. I use Ubuntu for day to day use (as its debian based) and debian for my server environments. I even support my students in their distro-flavor, as good as I can.

The irony ... huh ?
