I don't want any of these but then I know that Linux has the mentality to introduce stuff that is not Unix. I never had a problem with the init-system, still it will be gone soon. I never had a problem with Xorg, still many want to get rid of it.

I guess I would better go with BSD in the long run but then again "packages" there are also not the most current, leave aside hardware support.

Ubuntu is of course just famous now and the "go to"-distribution and I used Xubuntu a lot in the past and could live with it quite good.

Fedora was never my cup of tea. I don't like RPM and yum is just awful slow, while they at least have the delta-rpm-system.

Mandriva I never tried because it was french and they say "ordinateur" to computer which is just... Well, I didn't try it because it was french ;)


Man, I would love if Debian (and derivates) really went serious about delta packages. Mandriva was a enjoyable distro and they had their nice control panel, but now unfortunately it's dead.
