What about RedHat.  I remember you saying you had problems with it.

That must have sucked right?

I almost always got make errors or dependicies, try to get the deps and still wouldn't work! I RTFM too

I tried to upgrade pygtk and it said it was installed and none programs would detect it....

Plus, RPM's are used by so many distros it's hard to find one made for your distro

Yep I sure did. And for every distro that sucks. I'm googling and posting what I find. Read the rules. Does'nt say you can't do it.

Gentoo sucks

RedHat sucks

Debian does not


Opps you won't find anything about why Debian Sucks through google, because it simply does not. And just to let you know. I can do that, because I have tried just about every distro. I'm sure I've posted enough screenshots from all thoose distro's to confirm that..

RedHat 9
Slackware, and Gentoo with no gui during the install process on the forum and in a virtual console!

RedHat Enterprise Workstation - no gui
Fedora, and Debian

Much more to come kiddies

Which proves the initial point. Wether it was from 1998 or 1898 it does not matter.

Speaking of copycat, to this day Slackware still uses a similar "BSD" style setup. If you don't believe that then try installing VMware under slackware and see if it compiles your vm modules with the default setup. The answer is............it will not.

In a nutshell... the VMware installation script assumes 'System V' style startup directories, scripts, etc... and Slackware just doesn't come setup that way since it has adopted something closer to a BSD scenario.

Source

Slackware packages are plain ol tarballs and they do not handle dependency issues. For an experienced user that would be just fine since it gives a bit more control. However, for someone with just basic Linux knowledge it can be a dreadful nightmare.

And I do not need to explain why it does not follow Linux Filesystem standards because the fact that it uses a similar BSD style setup pretty much makes that self explanatory.

One other note. The slackware advocacy site is relatively old. Slackware is up to version 9.1 currently and I do not see any mention of any version higher than 7.0 on that site.

It's very easy to hate on Mentuos when it comes without Konqueror.

And I hate distros that come with Gnome by default because it makes the download huge!

Not that I have anything against Gnome... I just use KDE.

KDE rocks!!!

But try this on for size.

Besides being "bleeding-edge" and "badass," what is it?
