<P><FONT size=2>Perhaps a page comparing the different major
distributions: i.e., why would a </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>user choose
slackware over mandrake, mandrake over redhat, etc. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I don't suggest that you rate the distributions in terms of
quality </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>(which changes dramatically from release to
release), but each</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>distribution brings a different
philosophy, approach or goal to the</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>task and has a
different target end user.</FONT> </P>

<P><FONT size=2>This question goes out to all the newbie's:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>What would you like to see in the newbie section? What
information would </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>change your world and allow you to
see Linux through different eyes?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Any input is appreciated, so let me know what you
think!</FONT> </P>
