I agree, but then I never switched to commercial distros except for
the brief trip through Caldera land before Mr. Love put the ax to it.

For my personal needs, Ubuntu is looking better and better. The basics
of a Debian distro are solid, and Ubuntu has eliminated the Debian
attitude.

For the quasi-production (or real production for many) environment,
CentOS is a great product. It's especially good to provide home backup
for employees of companies that are lining up to pay the Red Hat tax
(my situation).

It's sad for many, but Novell (and of course SuSE along with it)
appears to be on a course that goes right off the cliff.
