   I had always been happy with Mandrake/Mandriva and their urpmi system. In the   
   end I switcehd to CentOS because all the work stuff I was doing was CentOS or   
   Red Hat based so it made sense. It took me a while to get used to rpm.   
      
   However I got very frustrated by how far back some packages are, yes I didn't   
   really want to be on the bleeding edge of Fedora, since I tresrure my data and   
   don't want to lose it.   
      
   That's when I decided to switch to Ubuntu. I was using it previous for my BBS   
   anyway because the DOSEMU for running 16 bit games under Linux just worked   
   when I was struggling with CentOS.   
      
   Now, I've converted all my systems to Ubuntu 20.04. Everything works, and it's   
   much more current without risking too much.
