    ER>> Hehe. Nice! What're  you running for yourself on servers and   
    ER>> desktop?    
      
    RM> Started with Redhat on the server then switched to Debian.   
      
   Nice. I honestly in some ways hated Red Hat back then. Especially when they   
   started pushing that specific version of glibc when nobody was ready for it.   
   After the fact, I noticed what they were doing, and agreed with it because of   
   the results, but at the time, they broke a lot of stuff to push the community   
   forwards. :)   
      
    RM> On the Laptop and PC I use Ubuntu.   
      
   Ubuntu is a fair distro. I have a lot of personal issues with Ubuntu, but   
   that's me. Canonical, as a company, has done a lot of things, and abandoned a   
   lot of things as well. Just to name a few specifically: upstart, mir, unity.   
      
   I just started throwing Fedora back on my laptop this weekend, having had run   
   Xubuntu on there for a couple weeks, and still using Linux Mint on my desktop,   
   but, my ultimate plan is to run either Fedora or Xubuntu on both. I'm still   
   leaning towards Fedora, more than anything, simply because I like how it works.   
   But, I know it can have occassional issues because of it's semi-rolling nature.   
   With "modules" that might start to change a bit, allowing the ability to make   
   things different, and not always update so quickly as Fedora does, but we'll   
   see. :)
