Thank you for the link to distrowatch. I wish I had come across that
earlier.
I'm thinking that I want to go with the open source distribution that
has the largest community. Are there other sites one could recommend
that might verify which is the most popular open source distro? Going by
distrowatch, it would seem that Ubuntu is the main one.
Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, how big an impact is it deciding
between distros? I mean, they all run Gnome or KDE, they all run the
same Linux applications. Hmmm... suddenly it occurs to me I have no idea
what makes one distro better than another. All I know is that if Fedora
is intended to be in permanent experimentation mode, then that's a
little too unstable for me.
And then I think more, and I realize that whenever I download drivers or
something, I often see that they are built for Red Hat or Mandrake
kernels or something. Are some distros more limited than others?
I'm in one of those moments when asking more questions is making me more
confused. Help!
Dave
