[Wylug-discuss] [MASSMAIL] Not wanting to start a distro war

[Gary Stainburn]

I started on RedHat version 3 on God knows how many floppies.  

I've stayed with Fedora for everything from laptops to servers until last 
year. I finally got to the point where I could not (didn't want to) keep up 
with the update cycle for Fedora on my servers and moved to Centos - a move 
that I'm very happy with.  My workstations are all still Fedora - for now.

I have got into using Raspberry Pi's, so of course have had to get used to 
Raspian and therefore the Debian mindset.  A move that I found very easy.

One word of caution: watch our for the Raspberry Pi - the bread. I've got 
about 7 in my house so far, and they may well be spreading to my car.

I haven't tried any other dists in a long time.  I did try Gnome when 3 came 
out and that was enough to convince me to stop wandering so I've stayed put 
with Fedora/Centos and KDE ever since.
