   Good ${greeting_time}, All!   
      
   After reading a quite long discussion (for this echoarea), I'd also like to   
   share my experience.   
      
   As I work in IT sphere since 1994, I've seen almost all Linux-based systems   
   appearing, emerging and (most of them) dying. For now, I came to just two   
   parameters of a GNU/Linux-based system I'd consider a quality mark:   
      
   1. RPM packages   
   2. SysV init   
      
   That means, if some system lacks any of these, it very unlikely would be used.
