Bare in mind that this is only your opinion (you've already voiced it),
and don't forget, its linux, so version numbers from distributions mean
little cause the system can easily be changed. I run a custom x86_64
10.1 system with no trouble since I've ironed out most of the problems.
Simply though, 10.1 with updates is just as good if not better than
10.0.
