This list has been pretty quiet lately, so I will try and liven things
up a bit.
I currently use Fedora Core 2. I mostly like it and it is fairly easy to
keep up-to-date using apt/synaptic, but the frequency of version changes
and the problems with upgrades, especially on systems like mine with
many non-standard packages, makes me think that I should try some other
distro that isn't such a pain to upgrade. I would consider a distro that
uses, or at least has available, all the standard KDE packages. The
distro needs to include the devel packages, since I will need to compile
certain programs that are only available in src tarballs.
I started to do the Gentoo install on my test system. The documentation
is great, but it still is quite a chore to install (at least doing a
stage 1 install.) I may have to try it again sometime, but do a stage 2
or 3 install just to see what it is like.
Yoper installs easily and runs fast, but seems to be a bit limited.
Might be wrong on this, so I should give it another go sometime.
Should I try Mandrake, Mepis, Debian? Let me know. I'll keep a tally of
your votes. At the very least, I will know what distro everyone on this
list uses!

P.S. Happy New Year!
