Stephen,

 From what you are saying, I think I'll stay with RedHat :-)

 I started using Amigas a good few years back, and spent a fair bit of time 
messing around with the boot scripts, and AmigaDOS programs, and farting about 
in a shell.
 If I had gone on to Linux/UNIX then, I'd probably have learnt enough to make 
me pretty good at all this.
 A couple of years with Windows screwed all that up!

 I like GNOME, however, unlike the hackers that use Debian, I don't need great 
standards.
 For me, the recent releases of Gnome have been pretty good - the occasional 
crappy applet, but generally smooth sailing.
 As long as I can get into Oracle, use XEmacs to knock together some scripts 
and watch TV/listen to mp3s, I'm a fairly happy bloke.
 I can't ever see myself hacking the kernel or the like, so I guess I'll stay 
where I am :-)

 Cheers.

 Baz.
