Windows is more and more becoming what AOL is to the internet as far as OSes go

Ubuntu has a long, long, long way to go before it's nearly as user-friendly as Windows (unfortunately). I've recently installed it on some friends' computers who have, for a variety of reasons, had Windows die on them. None of them has had anything but frustration, particularly with OpenOffice. As an engineer, I have to use spreadsheets and word processing every day. OpenOffice is far behind MS Office in these areas, which really sucks because the MS version has many shortcomings in and of itself. I'm not rooting for MS by any stretch, but it doesn't look like it's clsoe to being overtaken any time soon.

There are much better distros out there then Ubuntu. I have no idea why Ubuntu is so popular around here. It's a piece of crap (in my opinion). Personally, I have gentoo on my main box and freebsd on my servers.

You know I do not know why Centos does not get more recongition than it does, it is based off of RHEL. I used it home and it is by far the most stable OS I have ever seen

CentOS is good I hear too, maybe when I get a spare drive I will try it, Ubuntu is kinda famous now becasue of the huge amount of easily installed debian based packages I think.
What is CentOS based on anyhow? RPM or DEB?

RPM...

Actually there are some apps that come with a SPEC file and you can build your own RPM files
