(Ubuntu itself being a fork of Debian, and all the hardcore Linux nerds use either Debian or Gentoo.) But the more casual Linux users (such as myself) want a balance between Freedom and ease/productivity, and have mostly migrated to OSX for day-to-day work (as jwz has, as well), but supposedly someday Ubuntu will catch up and convince us to switch back (or so the theory goes).</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.boingboing.net/2008/12/12/epilogue-austin-scho.html#comment-355779"><P> (Red Hat gets excluded because it's basically a Linux striving to be like Microsoft Windows, and who the hell wants that? The <I>only</I> feature that Windows really has going for it is its path-dependency of compatibility with the existing ecology of software written <I>for</I> Windows. A clone of Windows that's not compatible natively with Windows software is just crap.)</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7033FCC3-4621-4363-8A86-286CC7D37492/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
