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."
