[nzlug] favourite distro

[Ian Beardslee]

I (and the company I work for) run a good solid bunch of Debian servers.
We do have a couple of Redhat/CentOS machines floating around mainly for
people with applications that work with Redhat rather than Linux.

I've come from Yggdrasil linux, then to Slackware, to Redhat, back to
Slackware and now to Ubuntu for the desktop.

But each to their own .. people work with something and 'it is the best'
because that is what they have come across first and have had enough
satisfaction from that.
