I like everything GNU (Gnu Not Unix - cute story behind the name). KNOPPIX - rolls straight and clean and small direct from the download.
I hope to never need to purchase a Gates/Job program again. I did once in 1997.
UPGRADES and UPDATES - Forget them. (How do keep a hard-on? Don't Fqck with it...)
Try - hacks.oreilly.com - for some interesting reading.
