I think this group would be a good place to form a collection of Linux distribution reviews. Like an online collection of peoples' experiences and reviews of Linux distributions. With catagories of comments like: How easy to install was it? Would you recommend it to a novice? To an expert? List the Pros/Cons. How would you rate it on the scale of Maserati to Volkswagan? Like a consummer's report and a better business bureau rolled together. Lar's and Gerry's comments could be archived as supporting input to the general set of recommendations that would result from the sum of the reviews. I think a novice can get hung out to dry so easily that I would hate to have someone take the advice of these 2 reputable people and then have a bad experience blaming the advice. If BCS Linux group wants to come up with a list of points to review, I'll be happy to put in my 2 cents on Yggdrasil, Debian, Linux Universe, XDenu, Mini-Linux and Ed Carp's ecarp.zip on Sunsite. These range from S_E_R_I_O_U_S to down-right fun! The format can be a tight as an LSM like form or as loose as a list of suggested topics to comment on. What do the rest of you think?
