I never cared for the Red Hat image, which Fedora carries on. I like Debian's image but Ubuntu is overdone to me (I've seen [http://images.google.ca/images?q=hands+circle this] one too many times, and I'm not an appreciator of sound schemes in general), despite admiring their goals (and product). | I never cared for the Red Hat image, which Fedora carries on.

I hope the above is useful to some people. Distros have come a long way, I think the next generation may be near perfect, the main issues remaining will be around application support. | I hope the above is useful to some people. Distros have come a long way, I think the next generation may be near perfect, the main issues remaining will be around application support, with hopefully fine profiles describing configurations for hardware combinations. I hear rumours of a packaging system that will work across distros, that would be terrific so the focus can shift to getting the low level, system oriented stuff right, toward very open and inclusive, educational, adaptable functional integration between all levels of features, with participatory, situated documentation. That would be a modern OS. | ||
