[PD] Distro Doubt

[day 5]

Kanotix is superior.

I use Kanotix. I wouldn't go back to Ubuntu / Demudi.

GridFlow, PDP, pidip, GEM all work magnificently. I would not change to 
Ubuntu even if Hoary paid me with a box load of Ubuntu install CD's.

Although one must consider what hardware you are running on; my 
synopsis is thus:

Nvidia - use Ubuntu / Demudi
ATI - use Kanotix

see also #kanotix on irc.freenode.net - I reiterate once again, a truly 
superior distribution.

People tend to use RedHat or Ubuntu only because they "know the name". 
Kanotix is the best distro you've never heard of.
