Aha. I was misinformed. Thanks for the correction.

Even within the Linux world there are endless flame wars over which
distribution is better, with some claiming they would probably rather
die than use an allegedly substandard distribution of Linux. Just as I
stay out of all flame wars concerning Buddha nature, I abstain
completely from the Linux wars. I reckon all versions of Linux and UNIX
are pretty good, just as I reckon all forms of Buddhism are pretty good.
At least all forms of Buddhism are better than Windows.
