July Issue Of Daemon News Now On-Line

It's a good read -- and if you primarily use some other OS, it's interesting to see how the others are doing once in a while. The various BSDs aren't really complaining at the moment;)
They're not that different. He just managed to "get it" for Unix while using FreeBSD. Come on now, we all know of Redhat users who think Debian is lame, and vice versa. It usually boils down to which the distro this grokked first.

Another drawback to Redhat (and many other linuces) is that once you learn Redhat, they only thing you know is Redhat. Knowing Linuxconf inside and out won't help you on SuSE.
The trouble with shallow learning curves is that you end up with shallow knowledge. If a newbie came to me and wanted to know which Unix to start with, I would direct them to Slackware or FreeBSD. That way they will really learn Unix.
