Religious Wars!
Last night at dinner, a religious argument broke out across the table. It was between my younger (21yo) son on one side, and my older (23yo) son + GF on the other.
They were arguing passionately about which was better: Ubuntu or Fedora.
Friggin' fanatics.

Well, that is actually a deep difference. If "Ubuntu" is, say "Catholic" then "Debian" is "Abrahamic." Fedora is something totally different.
You are fortunate there was not a Gentoo-ite at the table.
[Freethinkers are] a motley mob of deists, agnostics, secular humanists, pantheists, atheists, and who knows what else, and organizing seems to be against our nature. We have to resist that; we have to be willing to work together while recognizing the diversity of perspectives under the umbrella of freethought, and treat that variety as a strength rather than a weakness. --P.Z Myers

I'm flattered, Greg ;-). That's the result of about an hour of me fumbling to improve my rudimentary GIMP skills....

And for the record, Ubuntu is WAY better than Fedora.
You should have told 'em to buy a Mac with OSX and be done with it :)
Curtis - haha, us and whose bank account? Besides, osx doesn't have nearly as nice a package manager as Ubuntu/Debian.

Ubuntu is much better of course. But Windows kicks all yer arses. :-)
