Debian and its clones Here's an interview with Debian's Branden Robinson. From the interview: "I think Debian's success stems from its dual commitments to userempowerment through free licensing of the works we distribute, and to high quality through careful design and integration decisions. Not everyone is a software freedom fighter, nor is everyone a software perfectionist – but we can accommodate both of those passions pretty well. Debian is an exciting and rewarding place to be if you want to help shape the future of the Free Software landscape."

Wow.. Then you must really go through some pkgs! I run an ubuntu/debian server setup and I've had it run for about 5 months so far and have only had to d/l a total of 60 megs of pkgs at the MOST... Much less then RHEL in which it seemed I had to do that a week... SuSE and mandriva significantly less but equal to ubuntu.. But as long as people write software.. There will be mistakes and things will have to be patched... If you think this is bad.. Try getting info about security breaches from apple... No patches for a month then BaNG! 20 megs of updates in one day! ;-)
