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.

I'm so glad not to be the onoy person who thinks it shouldnt be necessary to optimise the code for the platform and who belives an app shouldnt need to be recompiled with every subsequent development of the kernel..
One of the biggest bad things in Linux is that you can't reliably build an app to run on any distribution.
