  1. The INCREASING importance of community? by bryankwalton · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not to knock ubuntu, fedora, freespire, and opensuse, but the Debian community has been around since 1993. It is a highly evolved community with established processes for handling the politics, policy, and code developed for it. It is interesting that Debian isn't even mentioned by the OP. The Debian community, IMHO, is the model for everything else.

    A number of linux distro and non-aligned forums are like that but even as a semi experienced Linux user I have found Ubuntu forums to be a friendly place to ask for help.
