Also, over the years i've learnt that you should mix and match! Experiment with differetn distros. Dont put any critical work on your install.
U can put critical stuff subject to some discpline. Use a seperate disk / at least a seperate directory for critical data. Whenever u want to freak out with some experiment unmount your critical disk / partition. If it's a disk disconnect from the system. Learnt the above the hard way while messing around recovering crashed (sigh) windows 98 back in 99.
Try a few flavors of Linux and see which suits to the best. I did that and finally settled with Redhat. Now i'm hooked into Fedora 24x7 :)
However avoid Novell-Suse like the plague (at least get rid of it within 180 days if u must taste forbidden fruit). Reason - you are in a legal limbo with that distro.
Can the poster please explain the basis of above statements.
Or is this just another case of spreading FUD, especially to people who are new to Linux and whom you are in a position to influence.
Note: I have no intention to start a flame war, but when you say strong words about any product / project, please back them up with reasonable facts.
