Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Why do you like it? Is it the
first distro you've used? Probably not but worth a try any way. How do you
find installing and uninstalling applications? What's it like to update?
Did you download it from the net or buy the discs from a distributor, why
did you choose what ever method?
Oh I know that's a lot of questions, but better to get them out there.

Why do we spend more time troubleshooting our systems than actually
using them?
