        yeah. debian sucks, slackware sucks, redhat sucks, SuSE rulez.

honestly, what has M$ and Apple bashing got to do with Linux
advocacy. yeah, i know the others do it, but that's no reason to
step down to their level. i hate to say so, but there's no point
denying that the mac beats the shit out of linux when you look at
deployments in pro studios. doing so shows ignorance, not
superiority.

add your last remark to the list of things free software creators
don't do (i know i'm being idealistic), and i'll stop nitpicking.

best,
