ROFL

The aforementioned organisation is like a stupid bull with a ring
through its nose. It will go in the direction of the hardest tug, even
if it is straight to the slaughterhouse.

Good point. But, as I've burbled in a previous post, the distro is
really irrelevant. I still see installations using early versions of
the 2.0 kernel, but because the system has been properly managed there
is no need to change. It sits quietly doing its job. Sometimes, even
if it is broke, theres no need to fix (Schwuk - there goes your
paranoia theory!)
