I would never go with a non-RPM distro |
LMAO Thanks for proving my point! While you wouldn't use anything but an RPM distro, I would personally never use one at all. It's that pesky personal choice thing.
Tarballs are the most evil thing ever invented. |
Kinda how I feel aout RPMs. Especially when they're expecting dependent libraries in a certain place and they're actually installed in another place thanks to some developers who just like to change things around for no good reason. They didn't invent the term "dependency hell" for nothing
It really is about choice. I have friends who won't use anything but Debian or Debian based distros. I think Debian is ok, apt works pretty well. But I like fast and Debian distros just seem to run a lot slower because of the too generic compiling they use.
FC is faster than Debian, but still a tad slow for me (not to mention those nasty RPMs

). I've used many different distros and have found that Slack, Arch, and Gentoo (if it moves, compile it

) to be the fastest.
But like I said, it's all personal taste. I won't knock anyone choice of distros. If it works for you, use it.
