[Cialug] SUSE 10.1 or Debian?

[Carl Olsen]

Yes, I like yast, and I like red carpet, which is what I'm using now.  Of
course, my only other experience was the free distro of red hat 8, so I
don't have any idea what any of the other distros are like.  I'm going to
take your comments as a recommendation to go with Debian, since that is what
one of my coworkers is recommending.  If I go with Debian, I have someone at
work I can get help from.

Thank you!

Is it disto war time again?

Suse- you must love yast. I don't.
Debian/Ubuntu- get cozy with the terminal.

Our local group- Pearl City Computer Geek Society has donated
over 25 boxes in the past year to individuals loaded with Ubuntu.
I have had maybe 6 phone calls with questions/problems. I don't
think Mr. Gates could claim that success rate.
