New apt. That's the reason I like it so much.
I'm open to any 'apt-based' distro now.

*grin*

Let rpm match apt, and I'll think again about rpm-based distros, as well.

Linux already works well - apt makes it easier.

  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

New Everyone knows apt is great
That's not the point - SuSE could be ad"apt"ed. Who cares? What counts is software dollars that don't go into Microsoft's pocket.

New When they do, I might switch.
Or when any other distribution switches, I might switch to them.

But they'll also have to make distribution upgrades as easy as with Debian.

I'd even pay for an annual subscription.

But right now, Debian handles the tasks I need to perform SO MUCH BETTER than ANY of the other distributions.

There's nothing about Debian (aside from the "Free" agenda) that every other distribution couldn't implement (maybe even implement it better).

But they haven't.

I've gone through SlackWare, Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE, Stormix and others I don't remember at the moment. Debian works best for what I do.

It isn't an issue of money. Or of not using anything "non-free". Or anything else.

Debian just works so much better for the stuff I want to do.
