I'm calm, but I am looking for a 'home' distro. For two years, that
was Fedora for me. When things got too unstable for everyday work, I
jumped ship and I've been with Kubuntu for about a year. With all the
MS converts that I do I need a very stable distro, as I'm the only one
providing tech support to people who's first impression of Linux is
whatever I install for them.
