I haven't been on this list all that long, but this doesn't seem like 
the distro war kind of place. Plenty of discussion about pros and cons,

I've only been a linux user and on this list since about July. (Yeah, I been bugging you guys that long already :)
  I think most of us here you just say welcome home to linux and plug..  or something like that. The people here are all nice and, except for  me, pretty smart. 
  
  Glad you found something you like.
