Lets stir the pot even more. Have you heard the old one that goes something
like Girls Drool, Boys Rule. Well maybe it could be something like SUSE
S..... RedHat R..... (Fill in the blanks depending on weather your are using
German petrol or American Gas).

Maybe a game of skirmish between the different distro's wouldn't go astray ?
I heard that over in the states their was a battle between the vi and emacs
users over which was the best editor. (is skirmish actually legal/happening
in WA ?). Otherwise a competition on filling in the above blanks might not
go astray.

driving home to spend time with his family than sitting in front of a
computer at work).
