I know everyone has an opinion on this, but I'm looking for detailed info. What
are the main differences (technical as well as philosophical) between various
distros?
I know debian is very much an advocate of free software, and very non
commercial, and I know about apt-get
I know red hat is a company trying to turn a profit, and has been called
bloated. Can someone elaborate on "bloated". And how can that be ? What code in
red hat (9 for example) is actually written/modified by red hat. Don't they just
grab other people's code and slap it in a nice pretty package? If so how can one
distro be more bloated than another?
I know mandrake was sorta based on red hat. I know little about SuSE and united
linux, and even less about slackware.
So what really are the difference between distros?
