Hmm, don't know what neonate means but i'm not sure it's too complementary

Been using 'easy' distros for 4 years and am currently trying out Debian 
(which I'm sure is what most of you hardcore people would call a real 
distro) I would certainly come to a talk about the benefits of other distros 
as I seem to miss the point a little.

I could help  out a little here, I make a living as a php developer and have 
written some sites in perl and jsp to boot.
