Now this might be geek like, or gump like I'm not sure, but what it seems to me is it's the D&D approach to role playing. They start with D&D, and some stay with it for ever, but most move on to other game systems, because D&D is either lacking, or it's to finite, and the users want more thus move to other systems. I prefer to think of Debian like the Linux version of GRUPS. :) Which also goes back to Wayne's comment on RH being better because it's more popular. R H, like D&D has better marketing droids working for it, no offence intended to anyone on here that does marketing. It's more widely known because it's out there on the front line screaming, and that screaming is what brings people into it. Chris Jenks Ok, I go away now.
