Mr T Pitties the fool who is still using RHEL4
Despite the fact that RHEL4 was initially release on the first day of my life I could legally drink a brew, or maybe because of that fact, I am bitter about RHEL 4. A single dog year is comparable to 7 human years, right? So what is one linux year? Should it be measured in the man-hours of code committed to the kernel and distribution? Should it be measured in man-hours of time wasted by the meat-cloud trying to do simple tasks like building and installing libraries? If you're lucky, you aren't inclined to try to measure it at all.

Ubuntu? Delcious! RHEL4? Not so yummy. (but its a date thing, not a distribution thing)
