TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

Wow, some people seem not to follow the IRC, to which I referred. Or is it, that once it is out and all front-pagified, we do not speak of the disagreements behind the scenes? OK, I got it, move along, nothing to see here, but check out aristarchus's journal on censorship on the SoylentNews! A good time will be had by all, with happy endings! But seriously, this F. Article is not worthy of SN. Not my opinion. Lots of Eds opinion. Or, at least one ed. Who was not TMB, who is not an ed, BTW. Seriously.

Why do you think that all the editors should agree with one another? - the strength of the team that we have is that every editor has his own opinions and interests. That is why each editor has the chance to pick up any submission and prepare it for the front page, it makes sure that we provide stories that are varied and of interest to as many of our community as possible.
And we have the potential now for over 6000 different opinions to be heard regarding how best to learn about Linux.

Oh, sorry, did not mean to touch a sore spot. Carry on. But this article is still pure shill.

You haven't touched a sore spot - I was just wondering why you were surprised that 'at least one' (I'll assume that you mean 'one') editor wouldn't have published this story.
And how can it be a shill when TFS is arguing the case for moving away from Ubuntu to another distro? I think that the article is still flawed, but that is why it is up for discussion.

Maybe, but in this case What's Your Favorite Distro? is a perennial favorite in the /. -- Soylent universe.
I'm no distro-hopper, because sucking the marrow out of them is not my thing. But I do appreciate the cyclical return to the question because distros are moving targets. They evolve, improve, or worsen over time. Also, as my own tastes shift, I occasionally learn that other combos will suit me better. It happened early on when I switched from Red Hat to Ubuntu (for APT), and it happened more recently with desktops when the Gnome I had been using for years and years screwed the pooch with Gnome3, and I moved to XFCE and LXDE.
These days I'm pretty happy with the software. Backbones occupy my mind more. Control of the software was wrested away from the corps and govs, control of the hardware is in the process of getting there, but what about the pipes?

If you aspired to doing sick humor, you should have joined the military. We've got it - you don't.
