When I joined the list, you guys were right in the middle of one, which 
didn't to much to convince me that Linux is the way to go, if people 
can't even agree on which Linux to use. In fact, come to think of it, one 
of the real services which you "installaholics" could do for us newbies 
is, when you install each new distro, test it for compatibility with a 
set suite of apps which churches are likely to need. At the very least, I 
would want to know that OpenOffice, Mozilla, F-PROT for Linux, and those 
few church-specific apps I've been able to track down would all work in a 
given distro *before* I went to the trouble of installing it and trying 
to learn how to make it go. 

God bless,

Greg
