Truly a great post, especially the warning about backups:
"no one ever plans on losing data"
Hilarious, or really sad, depenending on your take.
Just to continue on my new mission in life, there is a new distro out there based on Debian called Ubuntu and, for a brand new distro, it's friggin' awesome. Easy like Mandrake, but free and with access to all the Debian libraries (8,000+ software and file installers!).
Really, this should be included in every Linux roundup from now on because I really think they're here to stay, and may even be the solution for Linux on the desktop for many small enterprise situations. Just a thought...
