Hey, distro-wars are great, any war at a distance come to think of it <g>. And 
besides, it keeps the complaints about a dead list to the mininum.

Seriously, gentoo is my distro of choice, but my latest experience with SUSE 
9.0 puts it in second place.  Unfortunately, I haven't spent enough time with 
any of the debian based distros to have an opinion one way or the other.  
KNOPPIX, of course, makes a great rescue system.  I read good comments about 
the new Sun linux distro (misnamed something with Java in the name), but I 
haven't tried it out.

OTOH, I believe that X and sendmail were both created by the same bunch in the 
depths of an acid trip.  I can't get around using X, but I sure don't have to 
put up with sendmail <g>..
