BTW, have the Norwich meetings ceased, or is it just the reminders?
Yeah they're still going. I *think* the emails were meant to be automatic but it sounds like they've gone awry.
Or gone away - I haven't seen one for at least two months, either in this list or 'Announce'.
As to the original topic... how does the distro make a difference? I find that an odd question that seems to get asked a lot these days. Aside from a few exceptions, the majority of software is available in nice packages for all the distros :)

Well, some (Eg. SuSE) are not SFP (Sheddi Favourite Price, = free), and this might make a difference? (Yes, I know there's an 'Open SuSE)
We were considering distros suitable for a more senior machine IIRC, and this could affect whether it will run on it, or whether some programs will ditto.
