If you're going to do what _could_ be a flamebaiting activity, at least 
make everyone start with a couple sentences of context stating what the 
system's purpose is. Hearing distro (or even OS) zealots say: "$distro 
is the way to go, you gotta love it" makes me want to hurt them with 
heavy things. Repeat after me "Computers are for more tasks in more 
circumstances than you can possibly imagine. My requirements are not 
your requirements; my requirements vary."
