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 don't know what to say except was that a review or a short story about someones dip into some flavours of GNU/Linux? Too many of the reviews I've been reading recently have been too shallow and not going far enough into the testing to give me any usable information.
