changing can be good for the explorer, as it can reveal the differences
as well as the shared character of distributions and thereby the
underlying essence (GNU/Linux) might appear more clear - also it can be
good fun and certainly good practice (which might just make perfect) -
after all, computers can be toys, so why not play? change and
experimentation, I think, is always to be encouraged, at least not
discouraged..
