No offense, but you sound pretty ignorant, and yet you're bashing debian, which has been around for about a decade I believe, and has plenty of users who are extremely knowledgable and able to make intelligent decisions -- and they continue to use debian. How can you sit there and seriously say that debian is only appropriate for a hobby computer?

Especially considering that HP uses Debian for their internal development machines and has a Debian support program, I guess HP is just a small-time hobby shop :/

Hm. That's pretty good conciduring that HP has their own private competing Unix version.. HP-UX and True64 unix. Not to mention also OpenVMS.

Then again a nice market outlet for those Intanium proccessors that HP loves so much is HPC linux computers... 🙂

i dont know whats up with the debian-gentoo hating, both are great . trash talk doesnt do any good for linux.

The debian vs. gentoo fights remind me of the Democrat vs. Republican parties in the U.S. Common, we can all we one great unfied community. 🙂

Damn straight. Use slackware.

I knew we were going to have som Ralph Nader supporters here 🙂 😉

You think Nader would use slack? Just another reason to vote for him I guess. 😀

teet haxors? 😀

I think there should be a study in the different dialects of leet speak. Or maybe how it has changed over the years. The 7=L thing seems to be fairly old school.

I don't think 7 was ever L. 7 has been T as long as I've seen 1337 sp34k. 1 was always L.

ive seen the 7 as an L before... but im not a an expert at it. google has something interesting to check out:
