For that reason I have been thinking of changing the distro to something else. But what? I have seen discs with Fedora core 4 (or something like that) and Mandriva, as well as Debian, and many others. I would be pleased to hear what YOUR views are (and anyone Else's for that matter).
For me, it has to be Debian. It has some 14,000 packages in the official repository alone. The package management system has the option of command line or GUI control (or some gruesome ncurses front ends).
Using apt, all package dependencies are automatically resolved and the required packages get installed - Much like YaST in that respect.. Above all, I value the ease with which I can build a custom distribution mixing standard Debian packages with my own - All with a GUI installer.
