Exactly! I havent read I, Robot, even! Although i have read the entire foundation series cuz I was bored to death. The series was ok, I guess. Don't hurt me if you have a different opinion!
I agree with you too on that Gentoo is a power user distro (I use it myself). What i gleaned about debian was from other users, so maybe I was wrong about Debian.
First, you should stop flaming and trolling, and realize that probaly over half of the/. community uses linux. Second, Microsoft has so many patches that if Windows was a shirt. it would look like a beggers shirt. Last time I checked, Microsofts sales and profites have been going down. Yes fellow/.ers, I shouldnt have tooken the bait, but I couldnt resist =(.
True. Dell is a pretty well known brand, so many schools use it. A 3rd grader is not likely to know about chrooting, so linspire is a good choice. One day, I was bored enought to watch the Linspire intro video clip, and it was pretty user friendly, although not as power user oriented as Gentoo and Debian are. Besides, its UI is very similar to Windows, so it has a small learning curve.

I'm using Knoppix right now! In my school, they all use Win2k computers, though.

Yeah... COMPANY. Dell sells boxes with RHL on them for only the corporate market!
