"Also check out Ubuntu? Not for me, thanks from IT Wire."

That was a really sour grapes article.

I have used Linux since pre 1.0 Slackware where you had to pick which disk set to download based on your MFM or RLL hard disk controller.

Since then I have used Ubuntu, Debian, Slack, Stampede, Gentoo, SuSE, Red Hat since 4.2, Fedora since the first version, and also OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD, and no doubt a few others I am forgetting.

For desktop use and a few servers I use in my business it's very easy to admin, secure, and maintain myself, and accomplish business tasks in, in a very short amount of time. Most of this stuff doesn't take more than a moderate amount of UNIX skills which are very easy to learn.

Oh yeah I was going to say -

I think Ubuntu is one of the most high quality UNIX distributions I've ever used, at this time. It's my UNIX like OS of choice for the past year and forseeable future.
