Debian Squeeze is very nice. Everything Works.<br>The spacefun wallpaper &amp; splash screen is pretty goofy, but they&#39;re easily replacable, &amp; easily forgotten.<br>I custom-install Firefox on all my Debian installations.<br>
Also note: I did not install KDE on my latest Squeeze, since I didn&#39;t want KDE4. Have xfce &amp; KDE-trinity as choices of graphical environments.<br><br>HTH<br>Liz J<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 March 2011 13:24, joel d <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:joelgroup@gmail.com">joelgroup@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Probably the same list of finalists as everyone else in no particular<br>
order (Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora / Ubuntu / Gentoo / others).<br>
<br>
Has WLUG done a disto comparison night meeting?<br>
I think it might be interesting.<br>
Each person bring in a laptop with their favorite mainstream distro<br>
(possibly 3 or 4).<br>
Spend 20 to 30 minutes on each, showing the major differences<br>
(installs / apps handling / etc) and why they like it.<br>
<br>
Probably not a new idea.<br>
If it&#39;s been done of late then please disregard as I cannot make as<br>
many meetings as I once could.<br>
(This is due to my personal schedule not due to lack of interest.)<br>
