The real benefits of discussing the technical merits and issues without 
getting too empassioned are found in large corporate (OSS hostile) 
environments.  In order to show the benefits of OSS, you cannot allow 
yourself to be labeled a bigot.  I'm not always good about that, but I'm 
working on it.
I'm even giving FC5 an open mind.  It is certainly (what I'm hearing, I 
haven't had a chance to install it) the best that RH/Fedora come up with so 
far.  Ubuntu 5.10 is the best they've released so far.
Debian Sarge is likely the best they've released so far.
All of them have done great work.  All of them have weaknesses as they have 
strengths.
