   Wow.. Now THAT's a distro I haven't heard a lot of people use. ;)  I actually   
   started Linux with SLS, when it was still new. Later went on to Slackware, then   
   I moved into Yggdrasil, and loved the heck out of it. ;)   
      
    KV> My last MS systems were Vista and XT, that came preinstalled on a Laptops.   
      
   That's one of the first things I generally remove, is Windows, from any laptop   
   I buy, and then I go to Microsoft asking for my refund, because I didn't want   
   an actual OS on my laptop, but since I had no real choice in the matter....   
   hehe   
      
    KV> Debian and Raspbian here, with some Ubuntu on Laptops, because of less

   Nice. I use Raspbian on my RPi 3, which is kind of like the main "HUB" to my   
   entire home automation system at my house that I've been designing and   
   engineering. ;)   
      
    KV> It is all Debian based, wich makes you feel at home on all systems.   
    KV> Apart from one all mainly run headless, installing distributions, with   
    KV> extra emphasis on the user interface, on headless servers, is futile.   
      
   Truth be said, I personally never had much actual love of Debian. I like the   
   simplicity of the package format itself, a .deb is basically a GNU ar   
   "archive", with two specifically named tarballs inside it. It's really the   
   debian/* files that annoy me the most about it, and how their repository   
   structures are so convoluted and not-so-straightforward, at all.
