[NMLUG] Re: Ubuntu Anyone?
I try to keep my life simpler but just running the latest version of Suse
wherever I can. I do not see any reason to run anything proprietary in this
day and age.
If a distro is well designed the fundamentals will carry over from one distro
to the next. It is more fun for me to get people exposed to Linux and hand
holding them just long enough so that their curiosity is piqued.
