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.

how many viruses and worms have actually penetrated your windows? Personally, I've had 0, and I've been on every version of windows since 3.1. I got a simple free virus scanner, it detected one virus from my roommates computer. How important is security to you? Its only important if you have important stuff to HIDE or if you run it in a high risk place like a web server. You guys really shouldn't be talking about security unless you're doing risky stuff, like going on IRC to get your pirated MS software.
