Linux This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.

Re: The Quest for the Perfect Linux System...

It seems as though you were looking for the perfect precompiled system - and I'm glad you have found something close to it with Vector Linux.

Had you truly been looking for the perfect Linux System, there should have been only one stop : Linux From Scratch. You could have built yourself the perfect GNU/Linux OS - but then again you did say that you didn't want to get your hands dirty (so to speak) - which is an interesting constrast to the fact that you prefer the extreme (assinine?) configurability of KDE over the elegant simplicity of Gnome. Go Figure.

Oh well.
