You could always edit it citing the reason as... 'Blatant flirting removed'  |

lunar linux is fun.
but, i've liked sidux the best this year. fedora 10 is quite good, i'll always have at least one machine running slackware. i was not a huge fan of mint or suse. pclinuxos and ubuntu are cute.
tough to top debian.
looks like there are a few other distros i need to give a shot soon.
