reviewing Linux distro's with an open (source) mind
I too am a long term Linux user. In fact, all of the systems at home and in our small business run on Linux.
That's fine if some Linux OSes (mistaken called "distros") cater to the GUI addicted command-line phobic users because Linux is about choice.
My choice is to do my most important work in the shell.
My choice is to use command-line tools such as nmh, VIM, slrn, etc.
My choice is to use neither KDE nor Gnome when I do need a GUI.
My choice is to use LPRNG instead of (the so-called) CUPS.
Expanded accessibility is a noble goal. But not when it involves the loss of the core tools that make a Unix-like OS such as Linux so very powerful.

You may have seen a few of the reviews before - they're from Seopher.com which is my website (so they're not stolen).
