Posted by simoniker on from the everybody-wins dept.

darthcamaro writes "What's the fastest growing Linux distro? This really solid article on InternetNews.com contains interviews with the Debian Project leader, the founder of Mandrake, SuSe, Red Hat and TurboLinux to get their take on who's the biggest and who's the baddest on the distro block. Also includes some interesting insight into the next round of releases."

    See subject. I'm serious. I mean, distros have come and gone, in the end I think it's the quality of GNU/Linux as a whole that really matters.

    As long as you run apt-get instead of click-n-die. That has to be the worst bastardization of Debian and Linux I've ever seen in my entire life.

    With Michael Robertson claiming that Lindows is as secure as Debian, yet the default install is to run as root, I think that taking a look at the editorial in my sig is highly worth it. Lindows has besmirched the name of Debian for far too long now, and needs to be stopped.
