From the "too much work" department: Title: Linux Distros Gone Today, Here Tomorrow Author: Katherine Noyes Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 23:06:56 -0500 Link: http://ectnews.com.feedsportal.com/c/34520/f/632001/s/37696ee0/sc/21/l/0L0Slinuxinsider0N0Cstory0C80A0A250Bhtml0Drss0F1/story01.htm [image 2][1] It's long been the case that the world of Linux distributions offers at least one compelling choice for virtually every taste and purpose, but -- much like those dissatisfied with the weather in New England -- users who don't see a distro they like need only wait a few minutes. The open source nature of Linux means that users not only can fork and create entirely new distros of their own at will, but also take advantage of others' efforts to do so -- and those efforts are ongoing.

My first Linux distro was MCC Interim. From there, I went to Yggdrasil, SLS, Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware, MEPIS, xubuntu, Ubuntu, and back to Slackware. I've been looking at Mint lately, but I'm not sure I want to go back to a deb-package distribution or one that's dependent on Ubuntu. Slackware hits the spot for me, maybe because it stays very Unix- like. It manages to stay up-to-date while remaining conservative and some- what traditional. Also, it requires enough manual fiddling to keep me interested. :) -- View this thread at http://squte.com/node/4767#comment-11011
