Hee.....   Collins, you remind me of a friend of mine...   Every time he 
bought a new car, it was the "best damn car in the world,  couldn 't be 
better, beats everything all to hell."    But ask him how he likes it after 
two years or so and "it's a piece of junk, lots of problems, gotta get rid of 
it."

You wax eloquently about every new distro you try and it becomes the greatest 
thing since sliced bread.  I used to get upset listening ad nauseum to you 
extoll the virtues of Gentoo...  but then I caught on... that you would  find 
something new next week or year.

Roll on....  because I can learn from your vicarious experiences with distros.   
But pardon me if I don't follow along with your enthusiasm.
