I just found this thread. I know this issue has pretty much been beat to death here but I'd like to throw something in here.

This kinda turned into who likes what distro better than the other distro. I think a key point got missed during this whole debate. Linux is about FREEDOM. The freedom to choose. Think about it.....what freedom of choice do you have with Windows? Aren't they all about the same.....really? Linux is about choice. If you don't like one distro, flush it......try another. What the heck. And best of all, you can try all of them for free. Try that with Windows.

Just my $0.02 worth. Great debate though.

what if the users dont care about linux much and are just want an os that will work and be as easy as windows, i think many people feel that way ,,, if yur an windows user ,,, u hate windows normally ,,, im buyina mac , screw all this ,, windows just sux ..., though i wanted lindows since i still want winmx ;( and winamp ... sux to have to decide between theses things .. good programs or good os, why cant mac make a winamp look alike , why itunes , it sux, and winmx kicks limwires ass ... kazaa crashes to much ,, this sux ,,,,,
