I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

Well, Linspire might be cool for grandma but I can't say that I understand why anyone who claims to have some tech savvy would prefer a bastard child of Debian (Linspire, Xandros, etc.) to Debian itself.
I run unstable without any problems ("unstable" really is a misleading label) and update my whole system as often as I like for nothing. Debian has far more packages than Linspire does and I've had no problems chatting with package maintainers (whose reputation and pride is on the line) directly by email. That's service!
Too difficult and technical? Well, I have a law degree, not CS or science and manage it and so does my wife.
This is the second article by the wannabe CTO. He'd get a lot farther working out plans to save money and increase efficiency for corporations and making a reputation than by writing fluff for OSNEWS.
