We don't understand the others. Hopefully we can coexist peacefully and have some fun together. I use PlanetCCRMA (based on FC2) and Gentoo. They are both great for me. Gentoo has a wonderful library of program available. It has a bit of a learning curve, but not that bad. The installation scares most people off. I think the developers rev software too fast, even in the stable branch, but that's the way it is. It's a religion. Fedora is a good distro and made much better for music by the Stanford PlanetCCRMA unit run by Fernando. It's solid and great for music. I find FC2 a little less intrusive. I sort of forget I'm running and operating system and just get a little more done using it. That said, when I want somethign on FC2 that's not music oriented it's much harder to find and get installed. I just don't get Debian somehow. I'm missing the gene I guess. It's probably great also. Hope this helps, Mark
