   Yes, I think that sounds about right.  I watch the changelog closely    
   and am thinking the same thing.  Hope we're right.

   I didn't use to like Debian but it has grown on me over the years.  If    
   not for the pesky systemd I'd probably already be there.  Straight    
   Arch Linux is pretty good too, but takes some effort to get done,    
   kinda like Gentoo does.  Has GREAT documentation though, and an    
   excellent package management system.  I dabbled with FreeBSD years ago    
   but found it too different than what I was used to, and lacked the    
   motivation to learn about it.  Will probably give it another try at    
   some point.  Haven't ever tried the other BSD's (Open/Net).   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
