[TriLUG] Opinions on Redmond / Lycoris

[Mike Helms]

Thunder Bear:

I'm downloading the ISOs for FreeBSD as we speak.

Every Debian experience I have had thus far has been a bad one.  Buggy
installs, buggy bootups, and a horrendous interface that offended all of my
sensitivities.

However, that was also about two years ago.  I really should give them
another try - after I try FreeBSD, which I have heard nothing but good
about.

Cheers,

If you want to try some other distros, and your biggest concern is
long-term stability, you owe it to yourself to check out Debian
GNU/Linux and OpenBSD.  Either one would run really well on that box. 
Debian is easier to update software on once it is up, but OpenBSD gets
bonus points for security.  Neither one takes the lazy mans approach to
installation or Windows networking, though.
