If anyone’s feelings get hurt from simply reading my honest opinion, then their competition will find them easy meat. Ruthless, backstabbing treachery is more likely to be the order of the day. These companies are each openly competing in the marketplace where fairness doesn’t enter into it. So I am digging and poking, and then reporting what I find, warts and all. I want to avoid knocking myself out of a possible benefit because I failed to check something out thoroughly enough. I am not trying to be fair to the companies. I am hoping to find something that I can actively enjoy using for the forseeable future. I am not just looking for something that I can make do with. But to me, the subjective points are the ones that really matter. So yes, these articles are entirely biased and unfair, if you judge them by the standards of your typical software review. I am only looking for the one particular distro that fits me, my hardware, work style and personal preferences the best. I don’t mean to present any distro as being better or worse. I am trying to dig past the hype and come to a supportable conclusion on the best commercial product for my personal use. Or perhaps read them for the insight that they might provide into the mindset of a mid-range consumer. Read these for entertainment value if you can find any.

Remember that experts are: a) human, therefore fallible, and b) each equipped with their own personal set of blinders. Sometimes an expert opinion is not worth much. I simply decided that I am going to settle on a debian-based commercial distro for my own SOHO use, and these articles document my misadventures along that quest. I am not grading them on any industrial rating scale. I am NOT exploring these distros in order to make a recommendation to my boss. Some of the feedback from my first article took me to task for being biased and subjective. Before I get started with Libranet I want to clarify a couple of points. ![]() The first article covered my exploration of Lindows, and this one is focused on Libranet.
