It's fun to play with, I don't have time here at University.

It's major point is that it is very coustomisable, it complies everything from source to do the install in mode one. It is very elitist. I prefer Debian for a base system, maybe if I built another Desktop one day.
KalNet SysAdmin.
Elitism- It's Lonely At The Top. But It's Comforting To Look Down Upon Everyone At The Bottom.

Nature is bountiful where idiots are concerned

No, they arent breasts, they're personalities, because its ok to like a girl for her personalities

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man
