  1. Don't fear the distros by Nafai7 · · Score: 3
    I don't understand why so many people seem afraid of these extra distributions. Basically, there are several "primary" ones that about 90 to 95% of the Linux users will utilize. The rest are all secondary or custom distros either based off of those main ones or designed for a specific purpose. These "minor" distros will each suit a smaller group, but perform more specific/specialized functions. Don't use Microsoft as your standard for how OSs should be "marketed".

    Ultimatly all these choices may seem slightly painful, but the extra competition will just feed Linux evolution. We will all benefit in the long run.
